I have a cousin who flew for Saudia and he fell in love with the place back in the 90s. I visited Dahran and parts East briefly back in the 90s on a government-sponsored vacation.

It's so lovely to see you speaking to so many people, you truly meet some interesting people and seem very friendly to talk to. Great video as always! :)

Sam. Love your videos. Traveled a short domestic flight on Saudia earlier this year from Riyadh to Madina. I have to admit it was a very pleasant experience , a far cry from what used to be when i last travelled by Saudia They seem to have come a long way Thanks again for your very informative and entertaining videos

I fly Saudia Airlines everytime I go for Umrah and Hajj. Saudia Airlines is so nice friendly crew and Professional crew staff. I love the food they serve too.

Thanks Sam , this lovely video brought smiles upon my face, I love Saudia, their flight attendants were nice and pleasant

There is this happiness that I experience when I get to see one of Sam's new adventures. Not only because the video's are so well made and interesting but because I know Sam is doing well out there and living his dream.

People always have something to learn from different people, i love the way you talk to people of different cultures and regions. Loads to learn like the Alchemist

I did fly with Saudia arabia airline and I can strongly say they are super friendly and helpful and ofcourse very professional...I'll never forget how happy to do my pryer at 35k feet .💖. 🇸🇦🇸🇦

I flew Saudia from JED to AMS. It was my first time as a tourist in Saudi. I loved it and I will definitely go back to the KSA. Love your videos, keep them coming!

My father was General Manager of Saudia Catering during the 80s and 90s, and we lived in Riyadh, so emotional to see the images at the start of the video from back then...i still have that same ashtray on Talals desk!

Really great review!! Was recently in KSA, and was lucky enough to fly Saudia domestically. Great airline. Rapidly changing, opening and liberalising country. Heartening to see

I love Saudia, May God Bless Saudi Arabia 🙏

Thanks , I’m going to participate an event end of month at Saudi , really informative, now I know which airline I should fly :)

Thank you Sam. I love watching your videos, no matter what they are about. Makes me very happy! :) CHEERS!

ALHAMDULLILAH Mr. Sam. Thank You ❤️❤️❤️

I logged a gazillion miles on Saudia in the 90s both in-Kingdom and internationally. So glad to see them progressing and having more female crew. Change coming slowly, but its certainly welcome. The onboard chef is a nice touch.

Great to see such a friendly crew when flying to some interesting places!

I’m currently considering booking a Saudi’s flight with an 11 hour layover in JED airport and this video was very helpful, thank you!!

I’m Glad I came across this vlog. Something very new I’ve never seen anyone review saudi airlines before ❤

Your videos are all high quality!!

We travel the world with your videos, we watch, thank you

Thank You for sharing your experience flying with Saudi Airline. Eye opener.

BEST VIDEO ENJOYABLE VERY MUCH. THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR RELEASING THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS IN YOU TUBE. KEEP IT UP.

I flew with SAUDIA AIRLINES from New York to Riyadh... and it was a good trip. We had a good meal and loved the crew. We have been flying with SAUDIA since we were kids and loved it ever since. Thanks for taking us around.

I flew in and out of Jeddah multiple times over 30 years ago- the new terminal looks great compared to the old one.

Hey Sam! Loved the new vibe and music of this video! ❤️ Commenting before even watching the whole video!

Great video Sam. Loved the sunrise at Riyadh.

Impressive lounge at Jeddah Airport.

I just flew on Saudia airlines and loved it! They were helpful and gracious. Most importantly, the bathrooms were perfect; I was flying pregnant so even the thought of mess could make me sick, but I didn’t throw up the entire flight because everything was so clean!

Wow amazing quality 💓 thanks for the effort you put in this video really enjoyed watching 🙂 big like 👍

As always this is an amazing video, I have just loved it at all!!!!!

As usual Sam love your work love the Arabic music the views the content of this video keep it up Sam 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️

I flew Saudia LHR > Riyadh and back, twice in 1977 - Lockheed Tristar L-1011 out, and brand spanking new 747-200 (Qantas) on one of the main legs back to London via Schipol. I was the ONLY passenger on board that 747 flight. First heard 'Boston - More than a feeling' through the acoustic headset and bought the LP at Schipol. Worked for Citibank and Lockheed Aircraft Corp. in Riyadh as a Brit ex-pat.

the back sound arabic music is nice, thanks Sam Chui.......have a nice flight

The crew seems so cooperative and happy to help. Loved the hospitality of Saudi Airlines

Interesting video as workers who went to Middle East especially Saudi Arabia were heroes who contributed to Korean economy. Hope to fly Saudia in the future.

For the first time since I have watched you for years, I saw you express a disapproving face when you drank the "Date Smoothie". Finally, what you really think! Love your videos!!

Thank you Sam for your videos

I really enjoyed this😄very simple and elegant vlog

Our experiences with routes within the GCC (that's just from AUH to Jeddah, etc) were not bad at all.

one thing I will miss at Jeddah Airport is the bus trip between the aircraft and the old commercial terminal and the hajj terminal..... back in 1994 on my first umrah trip, I get to ride on the special bus that can lift up to the aircraft and the terminal..... back then the flight from KUL was on board the B747 Classic just like the picture showed in the video....

Thanks for sharing your videos..like watching your KZfaq on traveling from places to different countries😪❤

What a friendly crew, and the food looked very good.

Flew Saudia during 1981 to 1984. Not bothered re lack of alcohol. Flew. First class once, Jeddah to Riyadh. Was persuaded to put my Samsonite briefcase in the hold. When I retrieved it the corner was chopped off. I once flew air force C130 to a desert strip (sand) in the dickie bench seat in the cockpit.

I flew with them from Washington DC to Lahore (with a change of Saudia planes in Jeddah), and then from Lahore to Washington DC (with a change of Saudia planes in Jeddah), back in January of this year with my parents. I stayed in Pakistan 🇵🇰 for about two weeks, seeing my wife and meeting her family as well as spending time with all of them.

Like watching this episode remembering Jeddah I worked for 12 yrs...there

thanks for the video sam one day I really want to go on saudia arabia airlines

Flew Saudi in 2017 Manchester to Jeddah and return on the Boeing 787 both ways. Amazing flights. Good food, excellent seats, friendly service and clean cabin. I score Saudi a solid 9/10.

I flew Saudia a few weeks ago, Business Class from AMS via JED to DXB and it was great. especially because we only paid 430 Euro for a return. They have great seats and food and the crews are really friendly. Lounge in JED is also great.. its just too cold xd

Hey Sam. Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

Very enjoyable video, really liked this 👍🙏😊

Yes I'll fly with them. During travel drinking and eating isn't big issue, real thing is aircraft and safety. Saudi Arabia is richer enough to buy excellent and safe airplanes.

My first flight ever was Saudia Boeing 707 from Bombay to Dhahran on December 1974 Love Saudi Airlines.

Sam as always interesting and informative

Beautiful video and I also have a experience of Saudi Airline it was wonderful and the whole crew was very cooperative Sam I like all your videos it's really wonderful

Sam Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us. You are doing great job in this channel. I am also very curious about something, I have noticed that the pilot was out of cockpit during flight and I have never seen this kind of situation according my experiences.It is possible that you to assess this situation in terms of safe and security regulation. Thank you !

I noticed the difference in sleep between your recent Turkish airlines flight from Canada and this one. Best to avoid wine and beef and no dinner and here you go 8 hours of sleep. That's impressive. Well done Saudia. I definitely would like to try this airline. The lounge looks great and well done in allowing walk in guests for payment. That's great when you fly economy and not a skyteam elite member

The flight and lounges look amazing!

Love your saudi airlines video sam

Due to the current expensive flight prices, I've booked two return flights with them next year to BKK, one from MXP and the other from GVA as their prices are at least £200 cheaper per return, even including the connecting flights from LON with other airlines.

I love Saudi airlines too 🎉

Excited journey! I enjoyed the same 737 domestic destination.

Cool video. I was just on their site looking at flights and then wanted to see if there was any images or videos. Landed on your video. Nice job.

I used to live in Jeddah for 7 years , always used Saudia and have had not bad experience. Very professional, very friendly cabin crew, and extremely safe in regards to maintenance and in aircraft. Bye the way like the music may I know by whom and the title is called?

Great video as always

Wow! Really attentive, polite service. Date smoothies?! Fantastic!

I regularly fly from JED-IAD it's always a great experience

I have been travelling with Saudia regularly since 2016 and its service has improved significantly. But there are some areas they still need to improve. Key areas are level of cleanliness through out the aircraft, level of wear and tear in the aircraft ( worn out seats and trims are not replaced as often as they should be) and leather seats in business on long haul are bad idea. You end up with sweaty back and they don't provide matterss which makes it feel like you are sleeping on leather sofa.

My cousin studies and live in Korea, he is also fluent in Korean. Yet we are from the deep southern tribes of Saudi. The world has become a small village.

This is truly unexpected very nice sam

I always look forward to seeing you on Vietnam Airlines flights from the US to VN direct flight

That's why you need an instant cloud backup for your footage. There are a lot of places like that where you'd be forced to delete unapproved footage but an instant cloud backup could preserve it.

I have a job interview for a role in Saudi next week. Maybe this is a sign! Thanks Sam ❤

NICE WORK MATE NICE WORK WITH THE SHOW THAT YOU DO

i really enjoy the vido thank you

I just came back from Saudi Arabia on Sunday. I went to do Hajj and Saudi Arabian Airlines is literally one of the best Airlines I've ever flew on. Had an amazing time in Saudi Arabia. We flew from Birmingham to Jeddah Via Paris. 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦❤️❤️❤️

My Godfather and my uncle work in Saudi, and I don't know if they fly to Saudi on either that or PAL (Philippine Airlines), but I do love this video!! PS: The Saudia chef *really* does know how to cook a scrambled eggs beautifully... I'm a bit jealous since I just made those for the first time :)

Always a pleasure to watch your video Sam but today's Saudi experiance is amazing as well Gowra

Cool to see the Jeddah Tower in progress at 17:41

I like it the Saudi airlines have a prayer area for people on board.

Touched down last night with Saudia SV834. The airlines is good and the new airport is beautiful. Could not find the cylindrical aquarium though 😢. but the ground staff at Jeddah was bad. Had similar bad exp. With rude ground staff when I took SV831 two weeks earlier. They were shouting and most of the pax having problems to communicate. Wishing the best for their 2030 vision - hope human capital development go in sync

We just travel by UK to Indonesia. It was excellent service

Love the vids

Your video is really amazing and inspiring. This Saudia one is great. Love from India 🇮🇳. Long-term lasting relationship between KSA 🇸🇦❤️🇮🇳

I was on the same flight a few days ago but in economy. pros: Leg space was decent and I really enjoyed the power outlets on every seat, arabic coffee and the tickets were very cheap. cons: food was disgusting, they’re reeeally stingy with the drinks especially water, you get a small 200ml bottle and then you have to ask them every time to give you a cup unacceptable on a +10h flight, your fellow travelers can be quite diffucult especially if you’re a female and Riyadh Airport is terrible for long layovers

Masha Allah very nice thank you

Musik Backroundnya bikin kangen suasana ramadhan. :) Well done, Sir.

I want to see a video where Sam is on a Cessna Caravan in bad weather and how he reacts to not being comfortable for all the flight. I love his videos, but I think he should cover the more middle class (and awesome) part of aviation once in a while. He can do it!

Solid airline, good economy seats, nice friendly crew , great food , best economy class ever

Love the videos

@Sam Chui -- If you read this, I wanted to say your footage is super awesome. I think with some of this with Mr. Talah and showing the workers on these nice airliners, your content is like Anthony Bourdain's. Keep it up!

I'm currently living in jeddah suadia and I travelled alot through suadi airline it's very comfortable 😌

Sam you made me laugh really loud with your expression on the date smoothie, clearly you were expecting a different taste

Well done Sam keep up the good work

Very interesting videos to watch.

Last month I flew Saudia from Riyadh to Manila and back, and both times it wasn't great. Both flights used 10 year old 777s that were still fitted with their god awful old cabin, with a cramped 3-4-3 layout and the worst of all, the IFE. Both times they did not work for the very large majority of us (keep in mind these flights were 2 weeks apart and they did absolutely nothing inbetween to fix it) and so I had to rely on the limited shows, movies and music I had downloaded to entertain myself for 10 hours. After the flight I contacted Saudia to complain and I got a response that was on the lines of "We thank you for telling us about our experience blah blah blah we've handed this over to our management team thank you for contacting us" which to me seemed like they were saying "We don't care, deal with it." Thankfully both flights between Riyadh and London was on relatively young 5 year old 777s with the lovely modern interior. Although the IFE choice is a little sparse.

You HAVE to be wired to do what Sam does for a living. While I don't mind flying to a nice location a couple times a year, I simply couldn't fly as much as Sam does, even in business or first class. I'm glad Sam takes us along for his adventures so we can see the world.

Franchement j'ai regardé tous vos videos!!!! Vous n'avez peur de rien!!!! Jamais j'aurais osè vivre des expériences comme vous!!! Bravo nravo monsieur

so cool🥰 love the videos

Mixed experience with saudia,my school mate died on the horrific crash saudia had when it collided mid air in Delhi india in 1996 on her first flight to saudia after marraige,every time I hear about saudia she came flashing,apart from that I have a great experience flying in and out of saudia.
