Luxury in the Skies: Saudia's First and Business Class

Saudia offers distinctive features in both its First and Business Class cabins, ensuring a luxurious and comfortable experience for passengers. Both classes emphasize comfort, privacy, and exceptional service, reflecting Saudia's commitment to providing a superior travel experience.

Business Class

Business travelers need not just in-flight comfort but an environment conducive to either relaxing or catching up on work. We therefore designed Business Class to deliver not only efficient, friendly and caring services, but one that is also unobtrusive, mindful of passengers’ need for personal space. Saudia’s Business Class is equipped with Super Diamond seats that convert into fully flat beds. These seats offer ample space and privacy, featuring a 17-inch HD screen with access to over 3,500 hours of entertainment.

First Class

Saudia's First Class features fully enclosed private suites, providing passengers with unparalleled privacy and comfort. Each suite includes an 82-inch long seat that converts into a fully flat bed, complemented by a 23-inch HD entertainment screen offering over 3,500 hours of entertainment. Passengers can enjoy fine dining with an onboard chef who prepares gourmet meals tailored to individual preferences, ensuring a memorable dining experience. First Class travelers receive luxury amenity kits and during long-haul flights passengers are provided with comfortable pajamas for restful sleep.

First Class Dining - Personal Chef

Picture stepping aboard a Saudia flight, where luxury and culinary excellence intertwine in the skies. In First Class, a personal onboard chef awaits, ready to elevate your dining experience to new heights. Every dish is crafted with care, blending traditional Saudi flavors with international gourmet techniques. Imagine a menu tailored just for you, with seasonal ingredients and bespoke touches that transform every bite into a journey of its own. From the aroma of freshly seared meats to the delicate spices that capture the essence of Middle Eastern heritage, each course is a celebration of flavor and sophistication.

Your chef is more than a cook; they are a curator of tastes, drawing inspiration from global culinary traditions and local Saudi ingredients. From the velvety richness of date-infused desserts to the fresh, bright notes of Arabic salads, every dish captures a part of the journey. Elegant plating and artful garnishes meet the finest crystal and tableware, making each meal feel like a curated masterpiece.

As you enjoy the flavors crafted just for you, the gentle hum of the aircraft fades into the background, and it’s as if you've stepped into an exclusive restaurant, miles above the earth. This is Saudia’s First-Class dining—where the art of cuisine and the adventure of travel meet to create an unforgettable experience.

Saudia Coffee Cup

In Saudia’s First Class and Business Class, passengers are greeted with a traditional serving of cardamom-flavored Arabic coffee accompanied by succulent dates, embodying the warm hospitality of Saudi culture.

Enhancing this experience, Saudia has introduced the "Saudi Coffee Cup" initiative in collaboration with the Culinary Arts Commission. This initiative features a distinctive collection of handcrafted cups, each representing one of Saudi Arabia's main regions:

  • Central Region: Cups adorned with designs of clay buildings and palm trees, reflecting the traditional landscape.
  • Western Region: Featuring motifs of the iconic Taifi rose alongside seashells and corals, showcasing the stunning coastline.
  • Eastern Region: Decorated with Calligonum Al Arta, symbolizing the region's unique flora.
  • Northern Region: Illustrating olive trees, representing the area's natural beauty.
  • Southern Region: Showcasing Assiri patterns, highlighting the rich cultural heritage.

These specially designed cups are offered to Business Class passengers as part of Saudia's traditional welcome service, along with Saudi coffee and dates.
