Saudia Flight Pass: How the airline subscription is making local travel cheaper
It’s perfect for local travellers
Local travel is about to be made so much easier with the launch of Saudia Airlines’ Flight Pass. The national carrier is rolling out a brand-new subscription service for domestic flyers in the country to lock in fares on popular routes for the entire year. Subscribing to the Saudia Flight Pass will also give you access to several other benefits; read on to find out more.
Launching just this month, the Saudia Flight Pass is a flight subscription program that lets you travel to your favourite destination for a competitive price.

At SAR349 every three months, you can book a bundle of domestic flights and fly at a cheaper rate, but here’s the tricky bit: you’d need to pick a single route to fly to and from for the whole year (big commitment, we know).
How it works
According to Condé Nast Traveller, eight trips a year between Riyadh and Jeddah would cost SAR2,549 (USD680) when paid annually, while 24 trips would cost SAR6,549 (USD1,746)—cutting the price per one-way flight to just SAR319 (USD85) and SAR273 (USD73), respectively.
The benefits
After you’ve subscribed to the program, you can look forward to the following benefits:
- A wide range of routes: Select one of the available direct domestic routes and subscribe to travel to your favourite destination
- Competitive prices: Secure your tickets at prices lower than the Guest Basic fares, guaranteed for a full year.
- There’s a flexible booking period: You can book your trip between subscription renewal and up to 3 days before departure.
- Tailored payments: You can either pay quarterly to receive two, four, or six trips per quarter or pay yearly to unlock eight, 16 or 24 trips upfront.
The terms and conditions
The flight pass covers the domestic network for direct flights except for the following destinations: Dawadmi, Neom, Rafha, Red Sea, and Wadi Al Dawaser. ¹Based on average prices. The subscription does not guarantee that the flight will always cost less than the equivalent Guest Basic price. Promotional prices are valid for the first year only. Renewal subscriptions will follow the standard rates. Flights must be booked at least three days before the departure date.
