Saudia Airlines
Saudi Arabian Airlines (Saudia), the national flag carrier based in Jeddah, is a full-service SkyTeam alliance member known for its authentic hospitality and "dry" service (no alcohol is served or permitted on board). As of early 2026, the airline has been recognized as a "World Class Airline" by APEX for five consecutive years, highlighting its focus on safety, sustainability, and guest experience.
Saudia offers three classes of travel:
Guest Class (Economy)
This cabin has some of the most generous legroom in the industry, Guest Class provides a high-value experience for international travel. Standard seat pitch is approximately 34 inches, which is significantly more than many competitors. New aircraft, like the A321XLR arriving in 2026, feature upgraded Safran Z400 seats with 13-inch screens.
Dining: Multi-course meals including Arabic, Western, and destination-inspired dishes. On longer flights, passengers receive complimentary overnight kits.
Entertainment: Personal monitors up to 9 inches (older fleet) or 13 inches (newer fleet) with over 5,000 hours of content.
Business Class
Saudia's Business Class is designed to rival the First Class of many other carriers, featuring personalized service and premium dining. Most long-haul aircraft (B787 and B777) use a 1-2-1 configuration with fully flat beds, privacy doors, and direct aisle access. New for 2026: The debut of the VantageSOLO suite on the A321XLR, offering private suites with 18-inch screens and lie-flat beds on medium-haul routes. "Dine on Demand" service with an on-board chef, ELIE SAAB branded amenity kits, and access to Alfursan Lounges.
First Suite / First Class
This is the airline’s most elite product, primarily available on select Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The Suite: Fully enclosed private cabins with sliding doors, a 23-inch HD screen, and an 81-inch seat pitch that converts into a flat bed. Service includes high-end pajamas, luxury skincare kits, and a dedicated à la carte menu prepared by an on-board chef.
Ground Experience: Priority check-in and access to dedicated First Class lounge areas with à la carte dining.
