As a Saudia premium flight attendant, I’m so happy for this extremely high improvement that we reached in these 5 years, it was not easy at al!! We had harsh trainings to reach this level, we still have more and more to improve. Also I’m so proud of my colleagues onboard they went extra mile for the service and hospitality!

Just flew Saudia business Hyd to Barcelona & back. The crew made friends with my 5 yr old and even took him on a cockpit tour. We had the same crew on 3 of our 4 flights and they remembered us, welcoming us with delighted smiles and hugs for my son. The attendants even offered to help him eat his meals so we could relax and enjoy ours. They don't just reserve the warmth and first name basis service only for reviewers, what you see in this video is what every passenger gets in our experience.

As a Saudi citizen and an aviation enthusiast, I feel so proud when I see our flag carrier airline improve and develop so rapidly like that 🇸🇦❤

I worked for Saudia in the late 80th and I remember a chef in 1st class. The only movie we showed was'20000 Leagues under the sea' and, I think, 'Black Beauty'. I flew with mostly Caanadian crew and I am German. Saudia will always have a special place in my heart.

As a Saudia Arabian girl I’m very glad you liked the experience, my father is a pilot and my mother is a flight attendant so i know a lot about planes or airlines and again I really appreciate you going on the plane to Saudia Arabia 🇸🇦

As someone who flew Saudia from India to New York. They were some of the nicest crew I’ve ever encountered

Awe. I like the Moroccan cabin crew on your first flight. She is so lovely. I can tell she was nervous 12:11 but at the same time she wanted to deliver you the best customer service experience on board.

Just came back to Amsterdam from Dubai with Saudia yesterday. It was my first ever Business Class trip and they certainly set a high bar! Such a great airline!

I am not Saudi, but I flew Saudia many times. Over the past 3-4 years. To Europe, US, North Africa and even domestically. Mostly Business class And I definitely rate it on par with some of the other more famous Gulf airlines. Especially on its 787 & 777 service. During my days, the only downside was JED airport. But Riyadh & Medina were excellent experiences. And I got to add, the landings were generally the smoothest.

I've travelled with Saudia Airlines since 1984. My dad worked for the royal aircraft in Jeddah and we got free trickets regularly. I can truly say the improvement has been great!

I remember in 1992 I worked in Saudi Arabia flying Saudia over to Jeddah on a 747. When I boarded there was maybe 20 passengers on the whole plane and they let us sit anywhere we wanted. Of course I sat in first class and got first class treatment. It was a great flight.

The crew shows a natural and relaxed friendliness. They don't seem to be so stressed out like the Emirates crews who are often under tension.

MBS is doing a great job taking the country in a new direction. I am sure this is his new vision.

As a Saudi myself I am extremely happy that Saudia has become way way better than it was 10 years, a huge improvement and as a person who lives in Jeddah, the new king Abdulaziz airport is such a massive relief from the old chaotic airport which was basically a damn bus station! Btw Josh I read something interesting about the plan for King Abdulaziz international airport, the current new south terminal won’t be the only one, there’s also going to be 2 more terminals, one in the center of the tarmac and one north terminal that will be accessed by highway so it’s a long drive to it. Once fully complete the whole airport can hold upwards of like I dunno maybe 20m-40m passengers, that’s just a wolf guess and I have no idea how much it will hold, but still it’s a huge relief that there’s a new and clean airport with friendly staff that help when someone needs it instead of an old smelly airport with no help whatsoever that was opened up in 1977!

My god, the whole crew on board, but especially the Moroccan Women.. amazing! They laugh and giggle with you, all while being professional and delivering great service! I love it when its like that and not just some "play pretend" stuck on all serious mode.

Such a nice uplifting video! Thank you so much for your continuing output of balanced, informative and high quality flight reviews! ❤

I am so glad for Saudia, i have flown them many times for work between 1995 and 2010, the food even back then was always good, and the service was better than some US carriers

As soon as I saw “Amsterdam” after the title “Inside Saudia Airlines,” I knew it was going to be good. I did this flight twice in business as well as the business flight from Jeddah to Casablanca in business. Saudia is impressive now. Very, very impressive. I’ll be doing this flight again in January… Looking forward to it. Thanks for the upload Josh. Respect.

I worked w SV at JFK 80s/90s. Our 747s had a chef onboard in FC and I would always go onboard to check if the crew were ready for boarding and have a lovely glass of freshly squeezed OJ! There were big velvet seats trimmed in gold colored hardware, as well as gold faucets in the lavs!

Actually, Saudi Arabia has improved so much in such a short time, not only in terms of its airlines only but in every aspect such as education and health, and so on. I'm so proud to be a Saudi citizen

I love seeing the sign language on the safety briefing! So happy this was a great experience!

I last flew Saudia a very long time ago and recall in the bubble as a business class passenger on a 747 having to crawl under a pull down a home-movie style screen to get to the bathroom haha. It’s so great to see how much progress they’ve made. Brilliant video

Love what I see here with the friendly hospitable staff, service, food, and feel of airline here. Glad to see that this airline has dramatically improved from years back. Happy for you that you had a wonderful experience on this airline. Love the state of the art futuristic looking airport as well with the huge aquarium in it. Thank you for sharing!

How good to see that Saudia improved so much. What a great experience you had, thanks for showing us!

I remember few months ago I posted a comment on your previous experience with Saudia stating that the whole system went through a significant change in terms of the airline and Jeddah terminal as well. I’m glad you’re happy with this experience!

So glad you revisited this airline, It was nice to view such a positive review.

Josh, thank you for making these videos! I have not had a vacation in years but its nice to see your videos and realize how some of the international airlines have such a wonderful service. Best greetings from Irving, Texas USA

Great Video again, Josh! I went on the same route on 25th Aug this year with Saudia to DXB and you are right, they are great!

Josh appreciate your focus on the overall travel experience for travelers. makes us all much more informed. Thanks

Thanks for the video, Josh! Exactly my same experience flying SV on the new route this summer BCN-JED-BKK. Great crews all along, great food... I loved the fact that it was Dine on Demand concept. My only complaint for the whole trip was the cold in the lounge, they like to keep it very low, too much light and the constant announcements of flights both in Arabic and English that made resting very difficult. All in all a great flight that I will repeat soon.

Enjoyed your great review of your Saudi Airline flight-in which you compared them to their service & aircraft from 5 yrs ago. Thanks. -a vicarious traveller. Love your trips!! ❤

Nice to see the improvements Saudia made. Food looked great and the staff were pleasant!

Thanks a lot Josh for this lovely video, I am highly impressed with the new Saudia and their fantastic cabin attendants are so astonishing and service oriented,I am so happy you enjoyed your flight

Wow! So nice to see the marked improvement in both hard and soft products. I always expected the national airline of such a wealthy country would be like this. There are often great biz class deals flying internationally with Saudia. Thanks to this video, I'm no longer hesitant to give them a try.

Thanks for another great vid Josh! You have such a great energy - no wonder the crew is so nice to you! I used to live in Saudi Arabia in the mid-90s and flew Saudia often. It has IMPROVED a lot - as you have mentioned! Fun for me to see your adventures. thanks!

I had the privilege of flying Saudi Airlines business class from Riyadh to Heathrow on an overnight flight this past week. One of the best business class experiences I've had in a lifetime of flying. The 777 had a 1-2-1 configuration; the seat was one of the most comfortable, generous seats I've traveled in. Soft leather, and pillow soft seat. The on-board staff were on top of their game. Even though nearly all the passengers slept during the flight, the staff regularly circulated up and down the aisles, attentive to any need that might arise. Breakfast was served on-demand; I ordered mine about 90 minutes before landing. The on-board chef prepared my eggs to order, and stopped by to ask how I enjoyed the dish - it was amazing. Can't recommend Saudi Airlines more highly - the absence of alcohol, replaced by terrific smoothies and juices, was not missed and more than made up for by the incredible service, food and seats!

Thank you - as someone who flies to the East Asia and someone who doesn’t particularly like flying direct, Saudi has regularly been a featured name in skyscanner searches but I’m yet to fly with them.

And the boarding music doesn’t get old I love it! Gives u a feeling that you’re actually in the desert kingdom

As always Josh you do an excellent job of narrating the flight. Just so much fun to fly with you even though I don't fly. Took one flight and it wasn't good. So Im not a fan of flying but admire those who enjoy that way of travel. Gets you there faster. Again love flying with you. ❤

Happy to see countries take pride in their airlines and airports 😊

Incredible review,thank you Josh for reviewing Saudia,have been waiting for you to try Saudia's improved product!!!Hope Saudia together with RIA will give a tough time to the other Gulf carriers in the future soon!!!

Very informative and entertaining content Josh! Keep up the amazing work! Well Done! It is very interesting to see how Saudia has changed so much over the years...

Great to see! I’ll be doing the LAX-JED-DXB version of this soon. Does a three hour layover give me enough time to check out the lounge at all?

Wow! I used to travel on Saudia 10 years ago, what a transformation, the flights were miserable with appalling service and very ordinary food. Jeddah airport also to used to be a terrible experience. Thanks for the video Josh

Great review Josh . Saudia looked very impressive to fly with.

You are a very polite and professional person .... Great respect

We appreciate all of your reviews!

The air hostess did not know how to stop smiling what more could any passenger want to see. And the chef seemed top notch as well. I have never flown with this company yet BUT I will. The air hostess apologized for a slight slip when serving dinner but has learned that a little giggle and a smile killed any problem.

My mother-in-law flew with Saudia from Manila to London. It was very easy to book online and all the assistance that we requested during the booking was fulfilled at Manila, Jeddah and at Heathrow. She was impressed and the food was good. And what's more, it was cheap even when booking a week in advance.

Hey Josh. I have been watching your videos for some time now and have to admit I am a fan! Another great video

@12:47 She's amazing did you see that turbulence she was having to deal with props to her.

The most underrated aviation vloger. Listening to his voiceover is a delight.

I am so happy to see this video about Saudi Airlines. Really, there are a huge differences in the quality of services from the past. Especially, when the crews are content, that means you will receive a perfect services. Next time you have to visit KSA ❤

Nice to see them improve, Great Vid, Josh

I always love the calming music in your videos! Hi from Wales!

I really liked this post indeed. When I made my first trip to the Philippines I went with Saudi Airlines, economy. But for my other trips I’ve done Business Class, absolutely fantastic experience and the airline staff have always been so kind and generous. I’m moving to the Philippines in September 2023 and will being experiencing First class for that final trip out from England. Cheers Chap 👍

The crew on your flight from Schipol to Jeddah were brilliant and your hostess totally enchanting.

Most of the crew of saudi airlines are now Marocaine that is Why the service is go much higher then in the past. Love it ❤

schönes video.ich fliege im april mit saudia zum ersten mal.danke für die eindrücke.

As a Saudi myself.. I am so proud that our National carrier is doing so well. It feels good knowing our airline is representing our nations so proudly with grace, elegance and hospitality 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️

I love your videos 😍 Especially that guy's expression shut up and eat 😄 So well explained and detailed! It is so good to know they have changed so much in the last few years. I was confused if I should take Saudia or not. I would love to travel with them next month ☺️

Flying Saudia next year. After this review, I am even more looking forward Josh! Thanks a lot for this review!

Honest and informative reviews. thanks, alot josh!

I've been flying with Saudia for about 17 years, they have massively improved in the past 4 years. Like by a lot. Service is so much better.

I think this might just be one of your best flights of 2022. Great content as always. Keep it up.

We had Great experience in business class in KLM airlines from LA to Amsterdam. Connecting to France. Great staff and customer service. A happy crew and welcoming service is pretty impressive.

Great video Josh!! Saudia has really improved!

The crew seemed very kind !

What a fabulous experience! I just loved the crew! They had the most charming joyousness. I wish I had been on that flight with those wonderful people. Great video, Josh!❤

Am in love with our background track on board that music is soooo relaxing

È bello quello che fai , grazie di aver condiviso con noi la tua esperienza ❤️❤️❤️

Btw Josh just to tell that the old aircraft u were on with the old cabin, it’s still in use by Saudia I remember being on an a330 business class a couple months ago from Amman-Jeddah and the business was really old, the freakin IFE wasn’t working and I was like yeah the airline should really get update the cabins of the old aircraft in their fleet, could prove useful for the future

Yeah indeed, Saudi Airlines has come a long way in the last 5 years, both in service and in catering. The new airport in Jeddah is very nice also the domestic terminal, terminal 5 in Riyadh is very pleasant to be in. They still have some work to do in the international terminal in Riyadh.

I used to travel a lot, and Schiphol used to be my favorite hub to change flights. Thanks for showing it!

Finally I’ve been waiting for this vid since you told me you had them for next month in the Iran vid but Saudia does have some good 777 with first and business class in a 1-2-1 but they’re used on flights to the us London and Paris almost always from Riyadh but sometimes with the old 2-2-2 and no first from Jeddah

Saudia now employs also Saudi women as cabin crew ! Before most cabin crew was Filipino? But now is more mix ! I think I would try Saudi next time! This female cabin crew was absolutely lovely and very nervous trying the best ! I think engagement of women in work force definitely will change the country for better! The Ambassador Saudi to USA is Women Saudi ! The first in history! And I lessen her interview she is amazing! Saudi going to be proud of her ! Actually I am in favour to stop serving alcohol on flights as many people become aggressive and we have behaviour issues!

Flew them from FRA to BKK this summer in Eco. I have to say i was sceptical at first but they really imperessed me with their service. There even is an amenety-kit in Eco. There was however one downside as we had a 5h delay due to an unschduled stop in Riadh that was quite akward

It is a pleasure to hear that Saudi airlines had improved that much, and btw I am living in Jeddah 🇸🇦❤️🇪🇬

Wow amazing crew!

another fine report. one thing i would enjoy was for you to describe each of the dishes you were served. as a guy who collects restaurant menus, i just find it fascinating to know what is on those plates. thanks, josh. hugz

Yes their service is phenomenal, I travelled to Istanbul via Saudi airlines and trust me I felt like I travelled in Business class at cost of economic

I have flown Saudia a couple of years ago. The interactive crew and quality food are the improvements I see and I am really looking forward to fly with them in the future 👍

Lat time I flew on Saudia was in the late 80/90'into and out of Jeddah and the cabin crew were mostly Irish. Pretty cool bunch but a very basic service. Most of the time we chose to pay a surcharge and fly BA for a 'wet' flight.

Another great video. 😁

Another amazing video as always. Being unable to travel, I live all my travel dreams through you! Haha :) Thanks for always making my Saturday breakfast enjoyable Josh. Huge fan :)

Terrific review. Thank you.

As for me my first Airline I have joined in 1990's, those days we serve lovely food specially lobster thermidor, beef stroganoff, Hammour fish with safron sauce and breeded prawns as service in FC. also we had lovely crew with multi national. It is very nice to see your beautifull and impressive comment with Saudia. All the very best please keep it up and go with globel airline.

Love happy videos 😊

Looks like what every airline should aspire to be like 👍

Always nice to see an airline improving

Its the biggest surprise...i loved the food and the FAs were nicer than the other major airlines.

The cabin crew were really friendly and genuinely cared. Wish more airlines were like that. Well done Saudi Airlines.

انا من المملكة العربية السعودية و سعيدة جداً للمقطع الجميل و كل تفاصيل المقطع شكراً لك ❤🇸🇦🥰

I always fly with saudia from and to Europe, and the special thing about them is that the crew are always friendly and welcoming which I like the most. lunch and dinner are always nice but breakfast is my problem, I hope they Improve on that =)

Great video Josh. Great flight.

Going to Philippines next year and Saudia Airlines is offering very cheap flights compared to other airlines in fact £200 cheaper. I've not really heard of them. So found this very interesting and useful.

Ye I have to agree its an insane change in such a short time, think Etihad also operates 787-10

IInteresting, my flight from Dubai to Jeddah and vice versa were actual proper business class seats. Yes, am very happy travelling with the airline. Great airline and great service..

Thank you Josh, love your reviews ❤
