I'm really tempted to book SV the return leg of my next trip to Italy, MXP to CGK as business saver it is still offered at less than 500 Euro one way, even cheaper than most economy fares with other airlines. I would book the onward leg with EY economy and upgrade with miles, as a whole return ticket with SV in J on the other side it is not worth at all, it comes at almost 2500 Euro where other airlines offering even (slightly) cheaper options with definitely better soft product and schedule.
My aim is to be able to sleep comfortable during flights and arrive at destination in good shape, for the amount paid I can easily manage the "dry" trip and probably the sub par service from FA I ever read above and elsewhere. My main concern is about the 10 hours layover in JED probably during Friday from 6 PM till 4 AM, is the Lounge in JED a decent place to spend 10 hours? Are there enough seats to do some works, get a rest and maybe a nap? Are toilet cleaned and is shower eventually available? is Food option and quality manageable? I'm definitely not expecting luxury first class options, I just want to avoid regretting about the whole trip due to a bad transit experience. Thanks in advance for sharing your feedback.
