Those flying soon please report back on how things go especially transiting JED and if there’s enough time to visit the lounge. Thanks

I spent 8 hours in Jed last night so I had time to explore. I’ll release a report in French in a couple of days. Can link here for pics.

2 hours def enough to visit, the new terminal is big but everything is well connected. I’d reckon at least 1 hour on a two hours transit

I am not sure my booking has been made... went all the way till the end on the Saudia website for payment, got a payment verification notification on my phone to confirm and verify. After verification the page just refreshed to the saudia homescreen. No emails nothing and the charge is showing as 'pending' on my CC. Already waiting 15mins for emails but nothing

Thank you for posting this great fare! Told myself yesterday to stop booking error fares, here we go again!

Been wanting to try out Saudia for a while, and considered ATH fare for a while, but the positioning was what put me off.

Just waiting now for this topic to get flooded with the customary: it's a dry airline

Not fully, but a only a 90 euro cancelation fee... so very palatable.

It seems that Saudi is doing some mad "deals'' recently and hopefully, something to SEA will pop up as well.

I’m crediting to flying blue (seemed to be the best place?), but upon checking out it advised me that mileage accrual would be 5781 - I thought it should be about double that for a ‘D’ fare?

All booked - I realised that my initial dates were going to be during Ramadan and was keen not to cause any offence eating/drinking etc… especially in the heat! Now my first day there will be the last day of Ramadan! Just in time to catch a flight back before my friends wedding :-)

Base fare is 3 EUR, so almost certainly an error fare - and it is questionable if they will honor it. Fare Base is DLNL and it is booking into the D bucket.

At the same time, they are selling I class, which is below D, for 1798 EUR - that makes the whole thing smell like an error fare tbh

I love seeing these fares here but I have never been able to use one. Does anyone know if this works to anywhere else or only Dubai?

Well thanks for killing the mood, the smartest person in the room.
