Saudia Showing How It’s Done!

How’s it going, everyone!

I haven’t gotten around to writing any new blog posts for a while. I have been pretty preoccupied with work and a particularly imminent deal is about to get finalized, meaning that as of this moment, I have seen my boss’ face more than my wife’s in the last couple of weeks.

Anyhow, what really prompted me to write this one up is this constant pondering over a thought-provoking incident that occurred on my last Saudi Airlines flight to the Middle East. It was during a very chaotic period of transit at the busy Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, one of the worst places to get stuck in during Christmas Eve. And that is precisely how my entire ordeal leading up to this incident began.

Evidently, the rush of Christmas and the greed of the festive season’s profits had made airlines overwork their aircraft too much. This surfaced merely two hours before my flight, a Saudi Airlines booking, when some technical damage grounded it, and with it the two hundred or so passengers who were tired, possibly drunk and in no mood to be held up.

With practically tourists from every corner of the world stuck in a glassed confine, things were bound to escalate. Arguments regarding seating and quarrels about the use of one’s business class privilege were just one part of it. Thankfully, Saudi Airline officials quickly pacified us as another flight would be rearranged owing to the high demand. 

Once the backup flight did arrive, I had the savage pleasure of seeing supposedly the most civilized tourists, Chinese, Italian, French and South American, push each other around like cattle. However, what struck me out of the park was a sudden parting of the crowd, with the staff escorting all of the pregnant women into the aircraft first. Although one inconsiderate idiot shouted something about using pillows to pass off like that, I think my Saudi Airlines online booking gave me a lesson in putting others first, just like the airline did!

Fly the best no-frills airline in Arabia!

With some of the most premium airlines being based in the Middle East, most patrons who look for opulence and total comforts are well taken care of. However, for those who do seek the same but wish to avoid exorbitant costs, there are a number of airlines that provide such in-flight service at good fares. Saudi Airlines (known in Arabic as الخطوط السعودية) is one such example.

The national carrier of Saudi Arabia, it has been rated highly regarding its myriad features across in-flight capability, bookings and much more, such as:
