Is there any information about the rates and discounts? It says “up to 20%” on the site. I looked at the price to fly to Toronto in June, but it’s only a savings of $9 on an $1100 flight.
Is Toronto a direct flight? We were pricing some flights last night and found that the big discount came on the direct flights. I guess like most of these airline deals there is a “load factor”, so if the booking is for a busy flight, or one that they code share on, the discount might be less. It is definitely worth looking at, every dollar saved is worth having.
It appears that the 20% savings are only on full Saudia flights, not on co-shares.
As of now the promocode is only applicable on flight originating from KSA. Saudia Airlines is working to fix the issue to be applicable for both inbound and outbound ASAP. We will let you know once the issue is resolved.
The code is not working on the link provided. Says: Error in applying promo code.
The Code is not working. It also apears that the costing of the tickets is pretty much the same. Jofrey, it seems the problem is not fixed yet for tickets starting outside the kingdom
The issue with the inbound flight booking has been fixed, I tried it for myself and it is working. Send me an email (roberto.chato@kaust.edu.sa) to know exactly your booking requirements and we will raise this directly to the airline.
It seems like the promotion code doesn’t work at all.
I tried to book a roundtrip to Paris in June and with the promotion code, the travel is more expensive than without (if I go directly on Saudia website).
Without taxes, the prices are 5196 SAR with the code and 5022 SAR without code!
And I also think that the problem for tickets starting outside the kingdom is not solved…
Is it normal?
It doesn’t seem that code is working at all. I am looking for a flight from Jeddah to Delhi. With code it has only a difference of 9 SAR compare to if I would book without code directly by Saudia.
It seems the code may only be applicable for some intl. flights…? I tried searching several direct flights from Jeddah to Europe or Asia, the discount was not necessarily working.
Is discount apply if I already bought a ticket from Saudi airline, and how Can I do it.
Tickets must be purchased between January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019.
Is this promo likely to be extended? If so, could you let us know when?
Hi Floris,
I just checked the link and the promo has been extended until March 31, 2020.
Thanks for checking, Roberto, and confirming the extension to March 31 next year
Please can you confirm if the offer is still valid, the link does not give any promo code so i cannot book the flight
Hi Alistair,
Thank you for your interest in trying to book your flight through our online promo with Saudia Airline. Please use this code when booking your flight, SVKAUST.
I am trying to use the code and every time I use it, it says “Error occurred” in the link and it dose give the same prices as the normal link of the official site.
Hi Roberto
The dedicated page states that both the Sales and Travel period is till 31/03/2020.
Do you think there will be / can you arrange a further extension?
Floris
Hi Floris,
The renewal of the agreement is still under negotiation, we will announce it once it has been finalized.
Thanks!
Roberto
