Star Alliance member LOT is currently selling its tickets to Riyadh for roughly €200 cheaper than usual if you depart from Copenhagen. Prices start at merely €227 (~DKK 1,695). The Economy Saver fare only includes luggage if you have a Star Alliance Gold or Miles&More Frequent Traveller status. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay €40 in each direction to check in 23 kg of luggage. The availability of these prices is very good in September and October.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 3 – 31 days. Once you’ve selected your preferred dates, it will redirect you to LOT’s booking site:
LOT either uses a Boeing 737 or an Embraer plane for its 1-hour flight from Copenhagen to Warsaw. After a relatively short layover, you’ll then board a Boeing 737 MAX and fly 5 hours to Riyadh.
Most Europeans will need a Visa to enter Saudi Arabia, and it costs around €135. While a visa-on-arrival is possible, it is generally recommended to get a visa at least 3 days before departure online.
Search & Book
The fare rules only state that you can fly between September 1 and November 30, 2024. You can see the exact availability in our calendar above, just like on Google Flights. You should book these flights directly on LOT’s website.

Destination
Information & Tips for Riyadh
Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, blends modernity with deep-rooted traditions. Key sights include the National Museum, the historic Masmak Fortress, and the towering Kingdom Centre, offering panoramic city views. The local currency is the Saudi riyal (SAR), and while some attractions are reasonably priced, the overall cost of travel—especially dining and accommodation—can be relatively high. The climate is arid, with extremely hot summers and mild winters, so visiting between November and March is generally more comfortable.

Information & Tips for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia, located on the Arabian Peninsula, is a country of deep cultural significance, vast deserts, and rapidly evolving cities. Known as the birthplace of Islam, it has traditionally been a destination for religious pilgrimages, but recent developments have opened it up to broader tourism.
Saudi Arabia is rapidly transforming and opening its doors to the world, offering a unique blend of ancient heritage and modern luxury. From the sacred cities of Mecca and Medina to the futuristic vision of NEOM, the country presents a fascinating destination for those interested in culture, history, and adventure.
Cultural Heritage
Saudi Arabia is the spiritual heart of Islam, home to the religion’s two holiest cities, Mecca and Medina. Each year, millions of Muslims from around the world visit these cities for Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages.
Economic Transformation
Saudi Arabia is undergoing significant changes under its Vision 2030 program, aimed at diversifying the economy away from oil dependency and developing sectors like tourism, entertainment, and technology.
Religious Pilgrimage
The Hajj pilgrimage is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, and every able-bodied Muslim who can afford to do so is required to perform Hajj at least once in their lifetime. Umrah, the “lesser pilgrimage,” can be undertaken at any time of the year.
Visa Requirements
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has introduced a tourist visa, allowing visitors from many countries to explore its cultural and natural attractions. The eVisa can be obtained online, and it’s a significant step in opening up the country to global tourism.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Saudi Arabia is during the cooler months from November to February, when the weather is more temperate and suitable for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
Transportation
Saudi Arabia has a well-developed transportation infrastructure, including modern highways, a high-speed train linking Mecca and Medina, and expanding metro systems in major cities.
Cuisine
Saudi Arabian cuisine features dishes such as Kabsa (spiced rice with meat), Mandi, and flatbreads like Khobz. Dates and coffee are traditional hospitality offerings.
