Saudia Business Class

Airline overview

Saudia is Saudi Arabia's flag carrier and the primary airline for Hajj and Umrah travel. Their refreshed business class on 787 aircraft offers lie-flat seats with excellent Middle Eastern hospitality.

The business class experience

Saudia Business Class features Lie-flat with direct aisle access. Seat width is 21 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Saudia's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.

In-flight entertainment is delivered via 17-inch touchscreen, Arabic and international content. Dining on Saudia: Middle Eastern and international cuisine, halal certified. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.

Lounges and ground experience

At the home hub: Saudia Alfursan Lounge (JED/RUH). At other airports worldwide: SkyTeam partner lounges worldwide. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.

On the ground at departure, Saudia business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.

What travelers say

“Good business class for the price, especially on Hajj/Umrah routes. 787 product is significantly improved. Halal dining options are among the best in the sky.”
