Saudia has launched a limited-time promotional offer featuring discounts of up to 50% on Guest Class and Business Class fares. The deal applies to travel from the Kingdom to international destinations, as well as transit journeys through Saudi Arabia to final destinations across the airline’s four-continent network—strengthening travel options, boosting the competitiveness of its international network and supporting transit traffic, tourism and the Umrah season.
Booking, Travel Windows
Tickets can be booked from August 20 to September 3, 2026, via all sales channels, for travel between September 1 and December 10, 2026. The promotion covers round-trip and one-way tickets in Guest and Business Class. Passengers benefit from an end-to-end travel experience that combines digital services across all journey stages, enhanced airport and onboard offerings, comfort-focused seating and ultra-high-speed internet available on a growing portion of the fleet.
Alfursan Bonus
Alfursan loyalty members receive an added incentive: 100% extra tier credit on bookings made during the offer period, accelerating progress toward a higher tier or helping maintain current status.
Jeddah Hub, Transit Growth
Saudia is advancing its Jeddah hub strategy using a “waves of operation” model that aligns flight schedules into interconnected waves. The approach improves connection efficiency and streamlines east–west transfers, with a target to more than double transit passengers from over 2 million in 2026 to above 5.5 million by 2030.
96-Hour Transit Visa
A transit visa—issuable electronically at the time of booking—allows stays of up to 96 hours, enabling guests to perform Umrah, visit tourist attractions and experience the Kingdom’s offerings before continuing to their final destinations.
Strategic Context
The promotion builds on Saudia’s ongoing initiatives to expand transit traffic and enhance the Kingdom’s appeal, leveraging its extensive network, strong connectivity and rising operational capacity to support the National Aviation Strategy’s objectives.
