How to Book Saudia Airlines Flights from Pakistan: A Complete Guide for Umrah and Family Travellers

Saudi Arabia is one of the most popular destinations for Pakistani travellers, whether for Umrah, family visits or business. Saudia, the country’s national airline, is a common choice. Here is what to know before you book Saudia Airlines flights from Pakistan.

About Saudia Airlines

Saudi Arabian Airlines, known as Saudia (code SV), was founded in 1945 and is headquartered in Jeddah. It flies from hubs in Jeddah (JED), Riyadh (RUH) and Dammam (DMM). Saudia has been a SkyTeam member since 2012 and holds a Skytrax 4-Star rating. It offers Guest Class (Economy), Business and First cabins, with halal meals and no alcohol on board.

Flights from Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi

Saudia connects major Pakistani cities with Saudi Arabia:

• Islamabad (ISB): Serves Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar and northern Punjab.
• Lahore (LHE): Serves Lahore, Faisalabad, Sialkot and Gujranwala.
• Karachi (KHI): Serves Karachi, Hyderabad and Sindh.

Choose Jeddah for Makkah and Umrah, Madinah for Ziyarat, or Riyadh for business and family visits. Nonstop flights usually take four to five and a half hours. Schedules change by season, so confirm availability before paying.

Understanding Ticket Prices in PKR

Fares change daily. The main factors are:

• Travel season (Ramadan, holidays and Hajj periods cost more)
• Booking time (early booking gives more low-fare seats)
• Fare type (Saver, Basic or Flex)
• Cabin and route (nonstop or connecting)

Tips: Stay flexible with dates, book early and compare fare types. A Basic fare with baggage can beat a Saver fare where you pay extra for a bag.

Baggage Allowance

Typical economy allowances: Saver usually has no checked bag, Basic includes one bag up to 23 kg, and Flex includes two. All economy fares allow a 7 kg cabin bag. Business and First allow bags up to 32 kg. Rules can change, so check your e-ticket, especially for Umrah and family trips.

Check-in, Changes and Refunds

Online check-in generally opens about 48 hours before departure. Saver and Basic fares usually carry change and cancellation fees, while Flex fares are more flexible. Contact your agent early if plans change.
