it is for sure a clear statement concerning to carry alcohol in the cabin and in the country, not 100% clear about checked in baggage and transit. By the way I understand their term and conditions but I would like knowing if anybody has direct experience of being denied or questioned for the same issue.
I had a transit in JED 2 weeks ago and I was questioned about having alcohol in my checked luggage. Not sure if it was permitted or not (I did not have any alcohol in my checked luggage), but they did ask about it.
Note this was a transfer between 2 different airlines in the North terminal which required getting a 'transit permission form' from customs and immigration, so the transfer experience with SV in the South terminal might be less hassle (never done a SV-SV transfer in JED). I don't remember being questioned about alcohol on my SV-SV RUH transits.
