About Saudia
Saudia, formerly known as Saudi Arabian Airlines, is the flag carrier of Saudi Arabia. Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) is its main hub, with Riyadh as a second large base. The airline has a broad domestic network inside the Kingdom and international routes to the rest of the Middle East, Africa, Europe, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and North America. Religious travel is a big part of its traffic, since Jeddah and Medina are the usual arrival points for Hajj and Umrah pilgrims. Saudia is a SkyTeam member and sells economy and business class, with first class on some aircraft. The low-cost airline flyadeal is part of the same group.
To check Saudia on IATA.co, search live fares in the booking portal or through the flights API. Payment is taken from your prepaid balance. Saudia fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. Each fare is listed with its own rules, which you can read before you confirm.

Booking Saudia fares as a travel agent
Travel agents book Saudia fares on IATA.co without their own IATA accreditation. Activate an agency account, top up a prepaid balance, then search live SV 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. Saudia 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.
