I have flown on SV recently with my family, and had no real problems on my flights.

I’m always amazed at the comments about flying Saudia, usually from people who have never stepped onboard their flights. The planes were fine. Food and service were great. I loved their 777. Super comfortable. The lounge in JED was nothing special, but I’ve been in many way worse lounges.

Certainly, they are dry, but it’s no big deal. For the money charged, I’d fly them again with no hesitation.
