Be carefull or think twice before thinking Saudia. Me and my wife got downgrated to economy and didnt get compensations. Also our luggages was missing 3 days and my wife got sick from meal what they offer at plane. She got different meal than me. I tryed many times to contact them, ones they write back “help your self” and thats it.
