imagine that airport is 144 sq mi. and my entire COUNTRY is just 166 sq mi. Greetings from Barbados

Avion Express are quite a good operation they are hired by everyone in the summer like Easyjet, Jet2, TUI and was a huge part of Thomas Cook until it collapsed

New(er) subscriber here, I've seen other comments mentioning this, so I'll go ahead as well... Your casual channel about flying helps my anxiety about flying 🙂 and I fly ALL OF THE TIME. 👏

By far the best KZfaqr I have ever watched going through a very hard time right now and your videos just make me forget everything going on and enjoy a smile 😊

it is nice that Noel treats everyone the same no matter their job :)

An enjoyable old school Noel video. Not overly long in the seeming hunt for more as revenue and much less bumble and repeated information.🎉

Thanks, Noel. 50 flights both ways is phenomenal!

Great content as always.

“Oh Dunkin’ Donuts!” 😂 got me

In the 90s Saudi were flying 747s between Jeddah and Riyadh. Very nice in Business for such a short flight. It's still weird to see you doing videos from Saudi it would have been an absolute no-no when I was there.

10:43 Circular fields growing crops irrigated by central pivot rotating irrigation using deep aquifer water wells. I used to fly that route a lot in the "worse old days". It's an extremely interesting country but exactly 20 years since I set foot there (I was lucky enough to do a degree in Arabic in London/Egypt '79-'83). Thanks for the update 👍❤️👍.

Really interesting review noel! keep it up!

I’ve had that pre-ordered food issue with JetStar once. They promptly refunded me once I queried it. The best part was the passive-aggressive apology, which was along the lines of, ‘Sorry our cabin crew didn’t do their job’ 😂

Great video Noel the aircraft was not as bad as I thought it would be

I love watching your videos makes me want to go to all the places that you have been

Thank you! One of your better videos. Appreciated!

as always i enjoyed the flight i always watch you sunday evening after the weekend i do this to relaxe and it helps

I remembered the hotel from your last video. It was absolutely beautiful. The view from the plane was stunning! On short fights it always seemed as if you had maybe just been given your beverage when you had to put it into the rubbish as the plane was starting it's descent...

Wow. You've taught me just how behind we are. Beautiful airport

FYI NAS in Arabic means PEOPLE so it means the People Carrier I think this abbreviations makes a lot of sense to ARABIC speaking people :).

These videos remind me of my youth visiting my dad in Khamis and Abha Thankyou.😁

Too good Video Noel, Awesome

Your presentations are always highly interesting to watch. Thank you very much and take care.

Good timing, timed perfectly for the F1 race in Jeddah today

Hi Mr. Philips, great video, I always look forward to your weekly videos and this video certainly did not disappoint. With regards to FlyNas, hmm... Jeddah airport looks like a nice airport very modern and it's nice when there are friendly staff around, the airline itself ok, decent, the legroom could be better and I have to say I would not have been pleased if I heard that my order had not gone through and I would have sent a complaint to the airline, it may be a couple of dollars but still, money don't grow on trees. FlyNas was supposed to fly here to my home in SEZ about 2-3 years ago but nothing happened, the operating date came and went and nothing, Anyways if I were to compare that airline review to another I have seen for Rex Airlines in Australia, I would choose Rex any day.

Great video Noel!!!! 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

Another great video 📸

Good video!

Another great video! I probably have binge watched all of your stuff and can't wait until it's Sunday to wach your video! I am a big fan of your work which , together with Josh Cahills work inspired me to make videos aswell!❤️ #teamnoel

It's pleasant you visit Saudi Arabia, I'm a tour guide in JED and I love to show you around here. Cheers.

I've been following your vids for a long time, I never thought you would walk a passage in an Airport that I walked, my life got more complete now haha

Completely forgot that I had taken that photo you showed of Nas Air all those years ago. What a pleasant surprise. Didn’t know that photo still existed on the internet.

Always wondered where the cheese comes from! Great video.

It blows my mind the development of aviation in Saudi; did you get much chance to explore the cities you visited?

I flew Flynas few times in 2010 and 2011 .. had great Airbus selection

Thanks for sharing, shared.

Noel Phillips you are simply the best

My uncle was a pilot for this airline

Saw you fly there last week I anticipated you to be doing the f1, gutted u didn’t

Good morning Noel - great chatting with you over in Houston. I was the guy in the Cubs jersey. When do you think you’ll be doing KZfaq shorts?

Thanks for this vlog. Fly safe. Happy Sunday from California. 2023.

I wish you can highlight more about your visit inside saudi 😁

Reminds me of Allegiant Air here in the U.S. Thank you for your review.

Flying with them from Jeddah to Dubai in October. Looking forward to it , has never heard of them until I booked it

I miss living in Riyadh. I loved it there

1:06 - You definitely said Jeddah but at 1:12 you definitely said CHeddah [sic] 🤣

Educational. I really imagined SAR to be a much more expensive place, but 100$ for a Möwenpick-Hotel and 66$ for the trip is really reasonable.

I like the video very much Noel great video

Anyone else notice the slightly misspelt road sign at 44secs saying "Norht Terminal".... Another great vid btw.

Amazing man.

That was an awesome Landing.

That was cool!!

Not long been out of the uk and your already calling biscuits, "cookies" lol

Nice vids.

Another great video Noel! Flynas definitely needs to fix the food situation online though, as it is unacceptable when you have paid for something and then need to do it again.

I flew on Flynas' 320 neos. The legroom was fantastic.

I live in Las Vegas, that airport is just bananas! Wow!! 😮

that a320 bark sound at 12:43

I was going across the tarmac on a packed bus in Riyadh , standing beside the doors….they opened !!! 😮😮😅

Nice flight review.

Great vlog as always! The SIDs out of most airports in Saudia I have heard are very streight forward. Even I can fly them… It say. When airborn, fly rwy heading until passing 5000 ft. Then contact Saudia dep. Control. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

Heyy, Welcome to Riyadh Noel.... Too bad we could not meet.

Thank you for sharing you flight here. That looked not too bad at all flying just an hour and a few minutes. Nice!! You made me laugh to know that Dunkin Donuts is all the way there as well. My Chicago coffee store is there!!! Wow!!!

Chap next to you didn't look too happy with his lot!

Hopefully the communication will be improved regarding the bottled water orders because collectively over sometime those few dollars can mount up to be a pretty large figure.

Noel Many Thanks for your reviews! I love all of them & your sense of humour! Many Thanks & wishing you many happy flights,Enjoy✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️👍👍🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩

One thing I do have to say though -- Oh, Dunkin Donuts! LOL. Love it.

Very spectacular, arrid land. Great video per usual.

Nice with NAS. I saw them - plenty - at Ryadh last week. At the 3xx gates , together with KLM !?!? Well, KLM did the domestic stretch to Damman first. NAS was on schedule. KLM had 2.5 h delay…

I'm watching this video while flying on an Air Canada Dreamliner.

Should have stayed a couple more days for the f1 race this weekend!!

OMG I WENT TO THAT GATE WHEN I WAS AT JEDDAH

Reminds me of Avelo in the US.. Very generic looking 2nd hand planes. Cheap, but they get you there perfectly fine. Several go to small lesser traveled airports that don't normally get 737s otherwise.

2:03 - but wait, you found one just 14 seconds ago, dunkin donuts even has a coffee cup as their logo.... :)

confusing airport, that 😅 I was there last November and we almost missed out flight because there’s A and B gates like 1000 ft from each other

Nice to see KSA promoted this way - development over the decades there is fantastic to see...well done to them👍🏻👍🏻

They used to do flights to Gatwick

Their Neo’s has a pretty good leg room actually, the problem is that they lease a lot of aircraft’s so the experience may vary , I once boarded a lion air 737-800 on a short hop from riyadh to jeddah , and they also do a European style Business class for international flights like to Dubai , overall they’re decent for flights max of 3 hours

Just like how people bing watch Games of Thrones I have been binge watching your videos because I find them hilarious and very few things make me laugh these days........My favorite clip so far was when you travelled from Manila to Bangkok on a Cebu Plane that normally takes 300 people yet they changed the layout to fit 460 people......Because I live in Australia it costs a lot to travel anywhere so I am always looking at the low cost options......My husband and grown kids are always afraid of what sort of plane, ship or bus I might have booked them on just to save a bit of money.

Great video as usual. Noel. When you find the coffe machine named "LaCimbali", NEVER take an americano!! Get the "espresso", it will be very similar to the Italian caffè! And if it's not enough, take TWO espresso!! Cheers!

I still remember when they used widebodies between Jeddah and Riyadh

They seem to be a good choice for low cost travel within Saudi

Sounds like a good airline.. 👍

If you could review new Qantas Food and Lounge that be great. I’m planning going to Europe next year flying Qantas A380 Sydney to London via Singapore.

GO ON NOEL MY SON!

Is that a Away bag I see for your carry-on? I have one too! What size carry-on did you get?

Flynas is the best low cost airline in the region and I have travelled extensively in India, UAE.

Great stuff as always. I do love a mature Jeddah!!

You were lucky. Josh Cahill flew on Flynas from Kuwait to Dubai via Riyadh, and they lost his luggage in the connection in Riyadh. He praised the cabin crew, though, and his luggage eventually arrived. Flynas has frequent flights between major cities in the Middle East, and there was soon another flight where to put Josh's luggage within a few hours.

Just flew Flynas and its up there on list know of blacklisted airlines. Even at the start when i was purchasing my tickets it said payment failed then i go back in right away to use anotherr CC and they uped my price by $75usd. I had no choice but to pay for it. The checkin line at instanbul took about 90mins to get through then on my way back flight was delayed at riyadh for 4 hours. They didnt even announce it or anything just bunch of people standing around for while till they changed the gate sign to Saudia. One more thing to add i paid for meal in the air and the flight attendent never gave it to me. overall about 2 out 10 . only good thing i would say is the seat space was pretty good for low cost airline.

1st! Love you Noel

Hi there , planning to take some air trips in Accra to other cities

The Sydney/Melbourne route has more flights than that per day with Qantas, Jetstar and Virgin.

I wonder what the walk on the tarmac and bus ride to the terminal would be like for passengers when its Summer and the outside temp is 120 degrees!

there's a new one, flyadeal, first I flew on it the takeoff was a lil steep and they had tried a rollover takeoff As well, best part was the landing was buttered so hard I hadn't woken up.

The person sitting next to Noel was either praying or wanted Noel to stop talking.

Noel, you know as well as I do they're biscuits not cookies ;)

Thanks for sharing your experience, noel! Was supposed to land in jeddah last year for my umrah but my travel agent made a last min change to medina. But it was still a pleasant flight with saudia from kuala lumpur. I agree with you about the view thru out the flight. I was so fascinated with the desert! Maybe this year, will perform umrah again and i hope i'll get the chance to experience the kul-jed route 🙂

Welcome to saudi 🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

I loved flying from Nashville to Las Vegas as both ways you skirt the Grand Canyon and on a beautiful clear day we would get some amazing views. We flew from Eugene, OR to Las Vegas twice and the way down was cool spotting all of the volcano's. The flight back was amazing as it literally overfly's Crater Lake N.P. I have dozens of gorgeous shots of Crater Lake from about 20 to 25 thousand feet. These flights were on Southwest. You need to sit on the right side of the aircraft (as you are facing the cockpit)...
