About flyadeal
flyadeal is the low-cost airline of the Saudia Group. It is based in Jeddah at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) and also operates from Riyadh and Dammam. The airline was set up mainly to serve travel inside Saudi Arabia, and domestic routes between the Kingdom's cities remain the core of what it does. It has added international flights to nearby countries in the Middle East and to a few points further afield, and it runs seasonal services at certain times of year. All seats are economy. Like other budget carriers, it sells a basic fare and charges separately for many extras.
Here is how it works on IATA.co. You search live fares, either in the booking portal or by calling the flights API, and you pay from your prepaid balance. flyadeal fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Low-cost content is not carried by every supplier, so a search may sometimes return other airlines only.

Booking flyadeal fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book flyadeal fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live F3 fares in the booking portal: the price, baggage and fare rules are shown with each offer before you confirm, and the amount is deducted from your balance. flyadeal results appear whenever our flight suppliers return them for your route and dates, so what you can book follows live supplier content rather than a direct airline deal.
