Cheap Flights to Saudi Arabia

When planning a trip to Saudi Arabia, the key to getting a good deal for flight tickets is timing. As much as 30% differences may exist between tickets bought from different time periods – even on the same day.

Buying your flight tickets weeks before your flight is scheduled is a pretty good way to save some extra cash. Usually, tickets bought early are always way cheaper than those bought a few days before the flight. It’s not totally unusual to experience a hike in prices of flight tickets during Muslim holidays.

Saudi Arabia is the birth land of the Islam religion and hosts two sacred mosques (Mecca’s Masjid al-Haram mosque and Medina’s Masjid an-Nabawi mosque) held in high esteem by Muslims globally. During Islamic Holidays like the Hajj, traffic from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia is always at its highest peak. Booking flights during these periods could mean you will pay more than obtainable at other times.

 

Prepping for an International Long Haul Flight

If you booked a ticket for a flight from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, you are undeniably in for a long haul flight.

No matter how utopian your destination may seem, travelling in a high flying aluminium tube for several hours can seem a little problematic. Only a few lucky travellers can sleep well on planes, if you aren’t among the lucky ones, you might want to begin your journey only after being well rested.

Some airlines might allow you to choose from available seats for an extra fee if you have the extra cash to pay. This is usually a good option to explore. By doing this, you can select a comfortable spot you can rest comfortably during the hours-long long-haul flight.

Another option would be to upgrade to business or first class. Both classes offer larger space, better meals and ultimately a higher level of comfort. Flights from Nigeria to Saudi Arabia could be particularly boring if you aren’t well-entertained. Make no mistakes, this is usually the case for almost every other long haul flights, especially when the provided in-flight entertainment isn’t really your definition of entertainment.

If your flight makes a stopover, it’s often a good time to take a quick walk to stretch your limbs and take a few moments to rest and recuperate. It’s advisable to go for a quick massage and, maybe, use the gym for a few moments if you are lucky to make a stop at a reputable airport.

Cabin air is infamously dry; you might want to pack some extra bottles of water to drink during your flight duration if you are big on gulping water.

Also, consider dressing light. For long haul flights that may see you seated on a seat for hours, it’s usually good practice to use light and loose fitting clothing. You might find yourself in a situation where you feel uncomfortable throughout the entire duration of the flight.
