Ignorance on my part but I thought they didnt have female flight attendants? Just having seen cabin crew waiting in LHR once I couldnt help but notice they were all bearded men.
Definitely female FAs, but NOT Saudi women. Most were Asian, as appears to be the case with female FAs on the other Middle Eastern carriers. The male FAs were generally clean-shaven from what I saw. (This is true of both my flights, even though I haven't written up the second one for you all yet.)
