Saudia Airlines - Choose Carefully

A carrier that has such rules - which are not the norm in air transport, should in my opinion, make it quite clear that they do not serve alcohol.  Many Arab states have quite stiff alcohol laws but often relax them for foreigners. I've never been to Saudi and have no particular wish to go there so I knew nothing of their laws. I'm not in the habit of carrying out a root and branch investigation into an airline before I book a flight. Every other airline I've ever flown with, has served alcohol, why should I think Saudia would be any different?

 

Being ultra polite but thats beyond naive it really is

No you're not, you're quite simply being an a hole and that's the long and short of it.  If you think that all travellers check out whether an airline serves alcohol before booking with them then you are living in an alternative universe.

Dont be so utterly uber stupid fella !!

Very few airlines dont serve alcohol but a person with an IQ of 7 would tell you that those that dont are very likely to be carriers from Muslim countries and definately Saudi Arabia

 

I can only think of Biman Bangledesh that I flew on twice way back that didnt have booze as standard and that was economic related not because of any restrictions......Oman Eithad Emirates Gulf Qatar all serve booze as standard despite being from same region as SA

 

I suggest you get out a bit more Ryanair and Easyjet dont fly to Thailand as yet

 

If you're so desperate for alcohol choose Eva Thai British airways etc etc
