Catering on other airlines from the Middle Eastern (ultimative thread)
I have just finished a trip on Saudia and was flying VIE-JED-BKK-JED-VIE. A great experience! I loved the business class in their Boeing 787-9. I had an idea that we maybe could share the experience with catering on these airlines as this info is very scarce in the internet. I can start with business class catering on Saudia on 24 May 2022 which is depicted in my below video:

I have just posted a video on YouTube on Saudia's Economy Class on a long-haul route JED-BKK and food that is provided is also in the video:

Hey guys! Post some photos of your meals/menues of MEA region airlines please. Let's share the knowledge. Here is my recent take on Saudia enroute MRU-JED in business class:

I think the mainstream airlines in the region are pretty well covered already. (Let's call those QR, EK, EY, RJ, and to some degree WY and GF though GF is a tiny sliver of what it was in its heyday.)
Some people do like / prefer dry airlines but you won't find a large number of them on Flyertalk. I like to get sloshed when I fly so long haul MEA region airlines like SV, KU, MS are no-go's for me, regardless of how good of a deal it is.. I actually recently cancelled a pair of MH flights and changed them to CX even though the total travel time is longer because I learned after booking that MH is dry on flights under 3 hours.
I've hard some potential changes for alcohol in the lounges in RUH and JED but haven't heard it'll be onboard on SV.
