Saudia Flight Ticket Price, Online Booking & Schedule
Saudia ticket prices from Pakistan start at around Rs 70,000 one way to Jeddah in economy. It is the Saudi flag carrier and the airline most Pakistani travellers encounter on Umrah and Hajj journeys, where its generous baggage allowance and direct routings matter more than the headline fare.
Saudia flight ticket price from Pakistan: from around Rs 70,000 one way to Jeddah and Rs 68,000 to Riyadh in economy. Fares rise steeply through Ramadan and the Hajj window, when the constraint is seat availability rather than price.
Saudia ticket price by route
Saudia serves all four main Saudi cities from six Pakistani ones. Pricing on these routes behaves differently from the rest of the Gulf: it is driven by pilgrimage seasons rather than by business demand.
| Route | Flight time | Type | Ticket price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Islamabad to Riyadh | 4h 30m | Non-stop | From Rs 68,000 |
| Karachi to Riyadh | 3h 45m | Non-stop | From Rs 68,000 |
| Karachi to Jeddah | 4h 30m | Non-stop | From Rs 70,000 |
| Karachi to Dammam | 3h 30m | Non-stop | From Rs 64,000 |
| Lahore to Jeddah | 5h 00m | Non-stop | From Rs 74,000 |
| Islamabad to Jeddah | 5h 00m | Non-stop | From Rs 74,000 |
| Lahore to Madinah | 5h 00m | Non-stop | From Rs 76,000 |
| Peshawar to Jeddah | 5h 00m | Non-stop | From Rs 74,000 |
Indicative one way economy fares including typical taxes. Ramadan and Hajj period fares sit well above these ranges and seats sell out rather than simply becoming expensive.
Umrah and Hajj season changes the rules
Through Ramadan and the Hajj window, Saudi routes stop behaving like normal air routes. Fares climb and stay high for weeks either side, and more importantly the seats run out. Booking early on these dates is not about saving money, it is about travelling at all. If your journey is tied to a pilgrimage date, secure the seat first and treat the fare as fixed.
Jeddah or Madinah, and why it matters
Jeddah is the traditional gateway for Umrah and is served from more Pakistani cities at lower fares. Madinah is closer if you intend to visit there first, and flying into one and out of the other is often both cheaper and more convenient than returning to your arrival city. Price the open jaw before assuming a straight return is the right shape.
Saudia cabin classes and fleet
Two cabins, with a baggage allowance built around passengers who travel heavy. The two piece economy allowance is the most generous on any route out of Pakistan.
Economy
3-3-3 or 3-4-3Two checked pieces of 23 kg on most Pakistani routes, meals and seatback entertainment. The allowance is the standout feature and is genuinely useful on pilgrimage travel.
- Two checked pieces typical
- Seatback entertainment
- Meals on all sectors
Business
2-2-2 or 1-2-1Lounge access, priority handling at busy pilgrimage terminals and a much larger allowance. The priority matters more here than on most routes, given the crowds at Jeddah in season.
- Lounge access
- Priority at busy terminals
- Larger baggage allowance
Aircraft
Mixed widebodyPakistani routes are mostly flown by widebody aircraft, which is why the cabin and the allowance compare well against narrowbody Gulf competitors.
- Mostly widebody
- Comfortable on 5 hour sectors
- Varies by route and date
Fleet allocation changes and the aircraft shown at booking is not guaranteed. Confirm the aircraft type on your own booking if it matters to you.

Book pilgrimage travel far earlier than you think
On Ramadan and Hajj dates the constraint is seats, not price. Fares stop falling and availability simply disappears, often months ahead. If your dates are fixed by the calendar rather than by choice, book as early as the schedule opens and do not wait for a fare that is not coming.
Saudia baggage allowance
| Route type | Checked | Cabin | Included in fare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy, Pakistan routes | 2 x 23 kg | 7 kg | Yes |
| Economy, some fares | 30 kg | 7 kg | Yes |
| Business | Higher allowance | Higher allowance | Yes |
Typical figures that vary by fare type, route and booking class. Always confirm the allowance shown on your own booking before travelling.
The most generous allowance out of Pakistan
Two checked pieces of 23 kg is more than any Gulf carrier offers in economy and far more than any low cost fare. For pilgrimage travellers carrying gifts, zamzam and supplies for an extended stay, this frequently justifies the fare difference on its own. Confirm the allowance on your specific fare type, as the cheapest booking classes sometimes carry a single piece.

Saudia pros and cons
An airline that exists largely to move pilgrims, and is best judged on how well it does that.
Where Saudia is the right choice
- The most generous economy baggage allowance from Pakistan
- Direct flights to all four main Saudi cities
- Mostly widebody aircraft on Pakistani routes
- Serves six Pakistani cities including Multan and Sialkot
- Built around pilgrimage travel and its practical needs
Where it falls short
- Expensive outside the baggage advantage
- Fares and availability are severe in Ramadan and Hajj season
- Limited use as a connecting hub for other destinations
- Schedules are heavily weighted to the pilgrimage calendar
- Jeddah terminals are extremely busy in season
The short version
For Umrah and Hajj travel, Saudia is usually the right answer and the baggage allowance alone often justifies it. For anything else, the Gulf carriers will reach Saudi Arabia for less, though rarely with two checked pieces included.
Booking a Saudia flight
- Book pilgrimage dates as early as the schedule opens On Ramadan and Hajj dates seats sell out entirely. Waiting for a better fare means not travelling.
- Check the two piece allowance against your fare type The standard economy allowance is generous, but the cheapest booking classes sometimes carry less.
- Consider flying into Jeddah and out of Madinah An open jaw is frequently cheaper and more convenient than returning to your arrival city.
- Allow extra time at Jeddah in season The pilgrimage terminals are among the busiest anywhere and queues are long.
- Enter names exactly as on the passport Names are matched at check-in and against visa documentation, which is checked closely on these routes.

Saudia flight FAQs
What is the Saudia flight ticket price from Pakistan?
From around Rs 68,000 one way to Riyadh and Rs 70,000 to Jeddah in economy from Karachi, rising to Rs 74,000 or more from Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar. Ramadan and Hajj fares sit well above these.
How much baggage does Saudia include?
Typically two checked pieces of 23 kg plus 7 kg cabin in economy on Pakistani routes. That is the most generous allowance of any airline flying out of Pakistan, though the cheapest fare types sometimes carry a single piece.
When should I book for Umrah or Hajj?
As early as the schedule opens. On those dates fares climb and seats sell out entirely, often months ahead. The constraint is availability rather than price, so securing the seat matters more than waiting for a fare drop.
Should I fly to Jeddah or Madinah?
Jeddah is the traditional Umrah gateway, served from more Pakistani cities at lower fares. Madinah is closer if you plan to visit there first. Flying into one and out of the other is often cheaper and more convenient than a straight return.
Which Pakistani cities does Saudia fly from?
Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Peshawar, Multan and Sialkot, serving Jeddah, Madinah, Riyadh and Dammam.
Is Saudia cheaper than the Gulf carriers to Saudi Arabia?
Not usually on fare alone, but it flies direct where a Gulf carrier would connect, and the two piece baggage allowance is worth real money on pilgrimage travel. Compare the total journey rather than the fare.
