    When you arrive at the airport to leave the Kingdom,be prepared to be messed about,long delays,not because of extra security,or anything beneficial, just because they can.The guys on the check in desks seem to take great delight in pissing westerners off.......And they do,but just be calm,relax and think of the freedom flight out of there !!!!! As you can tell by the big smiles on Ed Bromley and Nigels Syms faces,its a great pleasure when you get through to the departure lounge.

    Considering the long distance separate the main towns of the Kingdom, the air travel can be the most convinient and practical means within the boarders. Saudi arabia has three International airport: 1. King Abdul Aziz- jeddah 2. king Khaled Intl.- riyadh 3. King Fhad Intl - Dammam

    When you land at King Khalid International Airport (KKIA) in Riyadh, you'll be greeted by long, long queues. Expect to wait up to 5 minutes per person, so do your math when picking a queue!! As tempted as you might be to pick a small queue on the left, stick to the right. I've found the right hand side to consitently move faster.

  • It is a fact that Jiddah has one of the largest airports in the world due to Hajj(pilgrimage time),But going to Riyadh and seeing the beautiful airport they have was a real WOW.It`s very practicle and easy to raom. The flight takes about 1.30 minutes from Jiddah to Riyadh. There are around the hour flights. check the link below.

    Have a pen with you

  • When you land at Riyadh airport, you will need to fill in an entry form that you will need to give to passport control. You will also need to fill in an exit for when you leave. It is essential that you fill in these forms properly. However, you can only get them at the airport, when you arrive or leave and, of course, there is no way you will find a pen there. So, make sure you have one with you, in a pocket or in your hand luggage.

    Ask your hotel for airport pick-up

  • Most hotels in riyadh will provide you with an airport pick-up service. This is much nicer and easier than finding a taxi on arrival so don't hesitate to ask them. It will be added to your hotel bill and is approximately the same price as a normal taxi.

    Riyadh's King Khaled International Airport is as visually impressive as it is lousy. The check-in counters seem to be run more or less at random, and my experience has seen me wait from 1 to 40 minutes in line. There is no airline ticket offices, and tickets are purchased directly at the check-in counters, which adds to the confusion. The inability to hold too many people in the secured (?) check-in areas and the multiple security checks often means that queues extend all the way to the main door. Immigration can also last up to one hour at peak time (which is around 7 pm, when most international flights seem to land - this must be a joint effort by all the too few airlines that serve the Saudi capital to inconvenience their passengers as much as they can). When leaving, once you get to the other side of the passport queue you have absolutely nothing to do, no shops at all save for a couple of really bad kiosks and no lounges. The only nice thing is baggage handling - luggage has almost systematically reached the belt before me on arrival. Things get somewhat better at the Saudia terminals, but overall this airport makes for a good reason to travel to and from Riyadh only when really necessary.

    Getting out

  • Most foreigners (and many more Saudis than you'd imagine) go to either Bahrein or UAE once in a while to get a breath of fresh air and see a "normal" place for a few days: drink alcohol, see (and sometimes buy services from) women without abbaya, practice freedom of speech, this sort of stuff. There's several ways to do that. Beware of driving as the distances are pretty long. Roads are ok, but populated with Saudi drivers (see my warnings and dangers tip). The only route you can drive in a reasonably short time is Riyadh - Bahrein, which takes 3h30' (4h30' if you stick to the speed limit, 3h if you're a Saudi). Flying is a better option when going to all the other capitals. The routes are covered by numerous companies: Saudia (Riyadh to Bahrein, Doha and Dubai), Emirates (Riyadh to Dubai), Etihad (Riyadh to Abu Dhabi), Gulf (Riyadh to Bahrein) and Qatar (Riyadh to Doha). Fares tend to vary according to the day of the week and time of the year, but you should make it with just over a thousand riyals per person for a return fare. All these airlines are safe, and in case of Etihad, Emirates and Qatar the aircraft is very comfy. Saudia has somewhat cramped seats, while Gulf is definitely the worst in terms of comfort. But then again, the flight is short. No Middle Eastern airlines serve alcohol on flights to/from Riyadh (though you'll find it on European airlines).
