Airline overview

Founded in 1945, Saudia is headquartered in Saudi Arabia and operates to 148+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-10, Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A330-300 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes.

The business class experience

Saudia Business Class features Lie-flat with direct aisle access (reverse-herringbone, 1-2-1 on 787). 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 Seatback 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. The 787 reverse-herringbone product is a real, verified fully flat bed, not marketing language. Halal dining options are among the best in the sky.”
