Saudi Airlines?

[square earth]

They came in the cheapest , so we had to go with them ! London -Riyadh-Manila
i think a 4 hour stop. Wife and 2.5 year old only (I have to work)

how bad are they ? ! and what is Riyadh Airport like ? some say its hell...
But they tend to be on travel sites and i question a lot of those comments !

£400
Wife drinks very little. so will not worry her ! In fact i am happy when people on planes do not drink..last time in USA was a killer for me. loads of very immature men on the plane getting excited and causing mayhem .

i gather SA has a modern fleet and the in flight entertainment is ok.Food is meant to be fine
and the stop over is not 8 hours. It all adds up with a little one

And been a more honest forum member.... that saving is a lot of money for us. I know so many here have their own jets etc and are so rich they can afford to spend a lot of time on a forum ! :-)

we could not afford the other prices offered

I have read my wife the riot act about excess luggage . Filipinos dont tend to understand simple things !
i know one that paid £300 to take cheap sweets over there. £300 would have bought 20 x the amount of sweets there !

she will not bring any items that are not included in her allowed weight

I agree with the airlines on this one. some people have no idea about what is sensible !

the short stop over will be good to let the little boy run around and tire himself out ! Wife is very simple with food and others have mentioned the food on the Airline is ok . I have bought her a little netbook and loaded a few kids stuff for him to watch. Not sure what the quality of kids stuff will be like onboard or even if it will be in English?
I dont envy her at all...! but i am sure knowing filpinas she will make friends with others going home and she can find a on board baby sitter , so she can get some sleep etc .

cheers for your help !
