So many pre-conceptions... the more people travel and say who well their trip went, the better it will be for everyone.

I had a fine trip to Jeddah last week, staying in both Westin and Marriott. Taxis were OK, for airport pick up though, I alwyas prefer to use hotel car as they wil wait for you if late at night and no need to queue in line at a cab rank.

Just wish the Saudi govt would spend more on infrastructure.. the airport at Jeddah is not one of the best in the world.

Oh and access to FlyerTalk online there was fine !
