On what authority do you justify that statement? Transit visas are certainly possible for many people and not particularly difficult to obtain, with some exceptions (anecdotally during Ramadan and Hajj).Originally Posted by redadeco
>12 hours layover on most of these routes = transit visa required yet Saudis don't issue transit visas = no deal.

I'll chime in and say that Saudi consulates in the USA do not issue transit visas under any circumstances. I've personally tried multiple times at various locations. Originally Posted by Yachtman

Booking a connection >12 hours is a recipe for disaster imo

I was lurked by a deal here on SV sometime ago that included a 15 hour stop in JED, though when I tried getting a transit visa it was an absolute nightmare and I ended up cancelling at my own dime.
No more SV.

Seriously, why would anyone fly Saudi to begin with when there are so many other options available that are hassle/stress free without going on transit in Saudi for 10-12 hours?
I am just amazed people would even consider flying on Saudi and into Saudi to save $200-300 bucks for all the stress and hassle.

Not to mention positioning to CMB. Doesn't make any sense unless you're already positioned. And, only 75% MQM's on DL for the challenge. Pass.
