Just for history...
I lived in Abha for about 20 years and exclusively flying this route only during such a period of time , not to mention Saudia's a330s were newly introduced to such route just back in 2019 because before this date no wide bodies were allowed to land there only narrow's and of course the famous a320 not even the a321 the a320 only, when I first tracked a saudia a330 flying out of abha I was really amazed and still remember it though 20/7/2019 one of the unforgettable dates in my life and still the story is to start ... I quickly organised a flight on this route and it had a flight number of 8945 back then and when I stepped on board what I first thought about was the chance of David or Felix flying on this route or even this aircraft and with all of that report such a flight, those were series of impossibilities for me but I really wished that they report such a flight while the aircraft was still on stand 5 in the arpon prior to our departure ... and now the dreams are really coming true and the trip report is simply done ... that's amazing. As an aviation geek since birth literally and a subscriber for simply aviation for more than 6 years nows what I could just say for David and Felix is simply GO ON you are simply amazing and I wish you the best of the luck ... not to forget that this specfic region is truly fascinating and not just abha the whole country of saudi arabia is really a piece of heaven and whenever you get the opportunity to visit such an outstanding country simply go for it you will never regret it ...
Sorry for writing a whole article but believe me I tried to summarise as much as I could and again thanks simply aviation.
Some say that Felix is really David's alter-ego. Kind of like Clark Kent and Superman, they are never in one place at the same time.
And Felix never talks.
@@carlosrivera3260 nor does Simon
@@carlosrivera3260 I guess David is the boss and the only one allowed to speak.
@@carlosrivera3260 Which I like! It’s nice to have a chill, quiet, ASMR airline experience
He’s Batman
My last domestic flight within Saudi Arabia was that exact same route back in 2004.
Man time flies!
very glad we have a well documented and high quality flight of the elusive A330R😇 preserving aviation history!
That landing was pretty butter 🧈
14:45 Butter landing
I live in Abha. I was very surprised when I saw the video of how they could reach this place😂. Thank you Felix for the great video ❤
arabians watching anime?
@@andromeda9732 yeah why not
Wow the Touchdown Looks very smooth
Nice to see A330 regional, a custom A330 version for Saudia Airlines. Unfortunately, one of them destroyed at Sudan when the Battle of Khartoum happened last month.
RIP, why that Sudan now? Why still Afrcia??
Another great video, my friend 👍
Thanks for sharing
Greetings from Helsinki ❄️ Finland
Using widebodies on such short flights always fascinates me. Great to see!
Ethiopian airlines uses 777, 787, 350 on 1hr30mins flights.
@Muhammed Zayed because not enough people fly there for the airline to use widebodies
It’s not like Saudi Arabia wants to show they are cool and stuff, it’s just they have alotta 💰 💰 💰
Demand for the flight matter as well. Many airlines use widebodies for short routes because of huge demand for the route.
Actually that's common in Asia.
I think the Saudia livery is the classiest in the sky...
Gracias Félix por compartir tu excelente trabajo.
Another great trip report. 👍
I really love to see Middle Eastern trip reports.
Saudia is awesome with those business class upgrades.
You know it’s a good day when simply Aviation post a video
I have been following your very informative channel for long...I ilke especially, when you sit in my favorite In'n'out at LAX :) ..... btw: Laban is no milk, it is the Arab version of the Turkish Ayran and it is to the Arab, what the Breze is to the Bavarian :)...
The cubby for your feet seemed narrow. All in all great video of the plane and scenic areas along the way.
Great flight, especially this flight is Short haul Business Class at Wide Body Aircraft. Thankfully, evn though at that time is Ramadhan, they still serve Snack Box upon request.
A rare flight report that I excited to watch 🤩
omgg ever since ive changed my device and yt channel. ive been looking for this channel and finally found it! love u bro keep it up
Excellent trip report as always Felix!😸
Wonderful video man!
I was expecting a warzone security apparatus at the airport, because Abha is very close to the Yemeni border, one of the most sensitive hotspots on earth these days, and Saudi involvement and interests in the Yemen civil war are well known, but it was so easy and relaxed!
Not everything you see on media, specially western media, is always true
Simply aviation you are overworking nowadays whoooaa! Keep em coming.
Cool!
My last visit to Saudi some 25 years ago and one thing I recall back then, even the idea of photographing in and around any airport in SA without permission, well...😒 I guess the government has lightened up a bit since then.
My exact same thoughts. I was living there in the early 80's.
I LOVE THESE
What a beatiful country. I see dust, salty water and sand. Niceeeeeee
OMG! I LOVE IT! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!!!!!❤
Me when I hear Jeddah: STAR WARS INCOMING
love ur vids
Love the tripreports
i really wonder how lunch would look like if there wasnt ramadan at that time
I. Used to love in Jeddah but I'm in Lebanon 🇱🇧
شيء رائع ان اذهب في الخطوط السعودية مع الناس الذين يذهبون الى الحج والعمرة
2:11 - why will I fall asleep watching this video?
i didn't expect to watch a domestic flight review of saudia! i can confirm the domestic flight of saudia have a much better experience than Europe and US flag carriers airliners
No shit. You mean a country worth trillions in oil would have one hell of a domestic airline?
You don’t say?
Tranquil? I believe that rockets had been fired in this area from Yemen. I also believe though not sure that this area used to be part of Yemen many years ago. This is why this was the only part of Saudi Arabia where there existed a Jewish community. On the painting are Yemeni houses. Reminds me of the Business lounge in Split where all you get are snacks.
Can u please do kuwait airways 777-300 or their a330s
Motor sound is very loud 9:49
Bet you that flight makes more off of cargo then passengers.
Bro really said milk instead of buttermilk 💀
It's laban
@@rakibalhasan1 buttermilk is the form of laban, laban is just the name.
Laban is buttermilk. :)
Thank you for not adding annoying music on take off or speeding up the video it was a lovely to hear the engines and get seat view of take off...agree it was a disappointing snack for business class, no everyone practices there custom and a western choice would be nice too...how much was the flight in Aus or USD ...wonder why it always looks polluted, smoggy and dirty is it sand or pollution...thanks for video
Love you videos, but you're lucky if you get pretzels on a one hour domestic business class flight in the US. I thought the box was actually very tasteful and more than enough for a short flight.
here in Brazil you're lucky if you get water
A meal on an one hour flight? We could learn something here in the US.
Please do a trip report to Chennai 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Saudia from jeddah to boston by business class 787 plz
I think I traveled with him cuz I was in same flight no and airline and same place😂😂
What's that noise while takeoff?
The food is poor on these lines. I had a trip with them from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur. Substandard service
Please do bruttaly honest with ba cityflyer from LCY-PMI plzzz
Fly with air algerie from nice to Algiers
I live in Jeddah.
Can you do Manchester to Newquay with Loganair please
Wow shortest bus ride in ever.
Where is the updated into music?
I feel like every time I see a flight on this channel from a completely random location it's always Felix who is doing the report, lmao
Does no one think it's funny for the 10 second bus trip ? 😂
🤜🤛
First!
You're fifth
Wonder if they always served Zam Zam water or it will be only during Ramadhan.
It’s only in Ramadan
how much for a 1st class or business on Saudia Airlines domestic?
Check the description
I look for engine on rolls Royce trent 700
Hey simply aviation can you do airbus a380 British airways first class to mexico city
British airways uses their 787-9’s to MEX so that would be kind of impossible…
That’s a A330 300 regional
Amazing video, Is it alright if i upload this footage on my Facebook page? Full credit will be given
Thank you for the kind comment! :) I would prefer if you didn't upload it directly. But you can link the RUclips video...
@@simply_aviation Sure no problem. Thank you :)
Nice business class, but that has to be the most rattling interior noise I've heard on a A330.
Saudi is very wealthy country but Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid crisis, and even pull it off easily in a favorable economy. Unequivocally, the bubble/collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich
As someone who can't ever visit Saudi Arabia and similar nations, thank you Simply Aviation for showing us what it's like to fly domestic in these parts of the world.
Why can’t you visit SA if i may ask?
@@jay23201 jewish maybe
@@AR11177 Probably not. Even Israelis can visit now.
Is there anyone who has any info regarding the intro music???? It is just awesome 😊
Here's the link to the song you were looking for:
ruclips.net/video/Krw642HTCgw/видео.html
Finally felix did a face reveal in 8:05.
As my old uncle Max would have said, "I wouldn't give you 6 cents for the whole place."
buttermilk
I would feel a bit guilty eating during their Ramadan, hey ho it’s their choice 🙄
Looks like the only movie on entertainment is Lion King and cartoon Movie ...LOL 😂😂😂
Fun fact Saudi doesn’t has any fatal crashes
Young Sheldon being categorised as "Islamic" is kinda sus
And they never knowledge the people that take the time to write to them
Damascus
Too much rattling noise while take-off and landing
What is the purpose of this trip?
Tourism
first
Not even close
Why did they make you take a bus for such a short distance? 😂
Did anyone notice the takeoff / landing sound at 5:57 ?
I really do appreciate foreign aviation enthusiasts covering our country's airlines and also our domestic routes. Well covered Simply Aviation !
After watching dozens of flight reports, I have the impression that most of airlines are serving their customers very small portions of food. They really look like portions for children !!!!! Well, at least someone is making cash by serving such a miniscule amount of food.
To be fair, though, with it being Ramadan, they could have said no food provided at this time. They were being generous to their non Muslim passengers! BTW, that would have been enough for me for a one hour flight anyway!!
@@brianmcdonald6519 Hello. Well, not only on this flight but in general, while watching a great deal of tripreports, I have been noticing the same thing, such minimal portion of food. You can easily compare the aluminium packaging (when there is a hot meal) with the passenger's hand, how small it is.
I was laughing when I heard the safety video being played only after takeoff.
C’mon we all know u skipped to the plane food part of this video
👍
I wonder how effective that abruptly curtailed recorded supplication was. Is it even taken into consideration by the divine administration as valid coming from a recording and cut short like that? It may have been that you flew on that aircraft completely unprotected by the higher powers. I am so glad that air safety statistics was in you favor.
One day i will go over there. I don't know what language are those people speak. I think it's talking Saudi language.
bro its arabic
@@samarth2491 oh
first coment plz reply 😢❤
You're third
Hola
As a Muslim who lives in Dammam Saudi this vid.
Caught my eye. Our prophet Muhammad SAWS said to eat only how much you need and not stuff your tummy. For iftar many people would simply break their fast with a single date. A snack box is quite big actually.
Jeddah airport is the worst
Airport I have ever landed on
Employers there don't have any idea on how to welcome guest
it is wonderful. To go with people to Hajj who wear Hajj clothing
How come you verbally narrate your videos sometimes and sometimes you don't?
So, you paid $86 more for a small box of snacks that you really could care less about! Not a very spectacular flight or destination!
I think you should have left the food out for this one hour flight as respect to the Ramadan
Why should he ?
It's not going to offend anyone.
no thanks
