Self transfer in Dammam
Hi everyone, Did someone had experience of travelling to Amsterdam via Dammam(Saudi)? I booked a flight to AMS via Dammam, unfortunately there is a self-transfer in Dammam which I overlooked while booking. My flight to Dammam is Indigo and from Dammam it is Pegasus(in 2.35hrs). I called emabassy in Delhi and also Mumbai consluate but it is of not much help. Now I'm not sure what to do. Any help is much appreciated.
P.S: I'm an Indian holding a valid work permit of Netherlands

Welcome to FT!
What is your question? You ask what to do - about what?
Yes, you bough a ticket which involves a (self)transfer at Dammam. And most likely there is another transfer in Istanbul SAW airport because Pegasus air doesnt fly Dammam to Amsterdam. You need to enter Saudi Arabia in Dammam so you should check if you need a visa as Indian to enter Saudi Arabia (I don't know).
If your question is if 2h:35min is enough at Dammam, it should be OK if your flight arrives on time. Do you have luggage to check-in? It is better to do this trip with hand luggage only,
Sorry but you need to be more specific about your concerns and question for us to be able to help you.
PS. DId you not check the flights/itinerary before you bought the ticket? It seems that you just bought the cheapest availabale ticket without considering the flights involved and whether you are actually able to travel this routing. It seems far better to have booked a direct flight or a flight via e.g. Istanbul on Turkish Airlines.
