Good morning, ladies and gentlemen! Today, we explore Flynas, Saudi Arabia's first budget airline. Our adventure begins with a 10am flight from Riyadh, navigating through some taxi encounters and long check-in queues. Despite a hiccup with security stickers, we board a sleek, comfortable flynas airbus with friendly crew members.
The flight takes us eastward, soaring over Bahrain and the Persian Gulf, landing at the world-renowned Hamad International Airport. Flynas delivers a surprisingly upscale experience for a budget airline, with spacious seats and excellent service. The only downside was the lack of an electronic boarding pass, resulting in a long wait.

Another "classic" Johnny G flight review! Love it, and your fast growth of your channel is well deserved :)

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Thanks!!😎

[@7mdt018]

Johny my man, so sorry for what happened with taxi drivers, I apologize that disgusting matter happened to you. I wish you both safe, fun and exciting travels, much love from Saudia ❤✨

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Thank you man!!❤️

[@miy1614]

Checking-in is online with digital pass usually. I don’t know why that was not the case for your booking

[@C.viscione]

Josh Cahill’s favourite carrier 😅😅😅

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

😂😅🤷🏻‍♂️

[@1percentravelclub]

I'm glad you actually had footage of that second taxi driver, because otherwise I would have thought it was a joke

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Definitely felt surreal😅

[@Muhanad_sf]

I have never ever heard of such disgusting drivers in my home country, if u paid by card I would definitely recommend you call the police and inform them about everything. I apologize on their behalf

[@TheRollingBear]

Lovely report Johnny 😎

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Thank you!!🤙

[@TheBudgetTraveller786]

As disgusting as the situation is, you should have reported the cab drivers for such heinous and unsafe conduct

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Yes.. but we didn't want to cause any trouble in a country we are not familiar in. We have no proof against him..

[@TheBudgetTraveller786]

@@theRealJohnnyG. The second driver there was audio evidence, that you can provide to the morality police. First one, I agree it can be hard to prove if it really happened but if she is not the only victim, then multiple such complaints can bring attention to him.

Hey, nice video 😁 i just have a question about security control. We are going to fly with flynas to riyad from sarajevo and i am interested about liquid rules? I reas somewhere that is prohibited to bring any liquid on any saudi arabia airplane included saudi airlines, flynas and flyadeal, even 100ml and less. Is that true? Or can i bring with me in the hand baggage my parfume, roll on deodorant and some face water? All of them are in less then 100ml botlle and ofcourse alcohol free 😁 thank you for your answer 🙏🏻

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

For us there were no problems in bringing liquids under the normal rules. Max 100ml in hand luggage, no hazardous liquids and obviously no Alcohol to Saudi Arabia, including the finest bosnian Rakja hahah

[@miy1614]

No excuses for attacking at all. sorry that happened to you

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Yes..😤

[@zf5167]

Give Air New Zealand a go. You won’t regret it

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Yess!!

[@arabiandevil]

what was the guy's nationality? you should've mentioned that as MOST of the Taxi drivers are Afghans, Pakistanis, Indians etc..

[@TheBudgetTraveller786]

So dump the nasty stereotypes onto the expats, um no sir. That's called racism.

[@TheBudgetTraveller786]

That's literally called racism

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

He was arab, if that helps you

[@GiovanniPietro9000]

The taxi story was nasty... feel bad for your wife.

[@theRealJohnnyG.]

Yep, me too😬
