I like Josh, have watched all his videos. This was among the least enjoyable, and it's not about politics. It felt like I was watching a below average infomercial. Borderline masturbatory.

And gushing over Crown Prince MBS was bizarre.

I watched the video and I wouldn't put it in the same level as Sam Chui but the vibe is certainly one that doesn't feel like one of the typical videos.

It’s ironic to see people from the US and European countries so quick to criticize, yet often stay silent or even support governments involved in serious human rights violations, like the genocide happening in Gaza... If we’re going to talk about human rights, let’s not forget the atrocities funded and supported by Western nations.

You get mushroom and tomato soup because those ingredients contain more MSG than most other foodstuffs. In airliner cabin conditions (low pressure, low humidity) our sense of taste is greatly diminished, except for umami.

As to your end question: Being dry isn’t the reason I wouldn’t fly this airline nor the new one they’re starting up.

Very nice video Josh. Yes Saudi seemed to have improved their service by what I saw on this video. How ever I think they went above and beyond with you because they knew you were Josh Cahill the flight You Tuber. The food did look Delicious!, but the problem with majority of airline food is there heating it up not enough or over heating drying out. The alcohol not being served on the airline is a BIG problem. They say they are a dry Country BS on that. I've family here in Canada serving our country working for the Federal Gov't and they say when Saudi royalty travel out of the Kingdom they drink like horses at a water trough. So this non drinking is BS. One of the main factor's I would never fly Saudi Airlines is because Saudi Arabia has one of the world's worst human rights records and treat their women like 3rd class citizen's. Just like you proved on this flight husband and kids in business wife in economy. As long as Salman bin Abdulaziz is around nothing will change. I'm sorry for throwing politics into this comment, but it must be mentioned. To have real changed in the positive the Saudi government must change their ways.

I don't get it, when Josh posts a negative review he gets hammered he's just about clicks. Now he posts a positive review and he's getting pushback from some viewers. Was he recognized?. Probably, he's a well known professional traveller and can't help it if a crew member recognizes him. I don't think it influenced his review which I found to be balanced. He's already replied clarifying he fully paid for this flight. I also don't think his comment about Saudi Arabia being an upcoming destination means an endorsement of the political system in the country, it's just a thought shared with his audience. To think otherwise means he just wouldn't be able to fly many airlines due to political sensitivities, this is a travel community, not a political one.

I think it’s great that a new airline in the Middle East is upping its game. The big 3 have rolled the monopoly and it’s nice to see both Saudi and Kuwait in the mix. Love the new cabin and I think if more airlines took advice like Saudia , air travel could go back to the glory days of travel. Would be nice to see more of the flights in economy especially longer : medium haul.

This was a weird one Josh. FYI. The dry airline thing means I won’t fly them. Not a heavy drinker but I like a cocktail before dinner and wine with dinner. Saudia is a no

[@cabottaxi]

I have never understood how Saudia never got as big as the other big 3. They certainly have a fantastic looking product and amazing business lounge.

[@Jason787]

Impressive flight, I have experienced many middle eastern airlines. My favourite so far is Oman air but I think I will try Saudi airlines next. Not business class though. :)

Shukran Josh Habibi❤ Yeah I would love to have an amenity kit,i can fly a dry airline as long as they have great cabin crew and inflight service onboard

[@nonoralove]

My mom used this company before, and she was shock by the evolution ! In a good way.. Its good to see a company that evolved to offer a better services, and the crew look amazing

[@markusrothaler4190]

That Moment when you mentioned „Austrian“ during the dining experience made me smile! „Danke“ Josh! Greetings from Austria

[@armintuscher1650]

This time I gladly participate in this cool giveaway because a Saudia Amenity Kit is pretty cool to have. Thanks, Josh, for giving away things so often. 😊

[@sonja1720]

Hi Josh, the green eyeglass cover shaped piece of material in the amenity kit is a seat belt cover. I have one and put it on my car seatbelt so it doesn’t rub on my neck as much. You can also use it for a glasses case, but just be careful because the glasses can slip out because it has holes in each end and your glasses can slip out.

I had a chat with them on Dubai Airshow, and they were announcing these changes. Glad I see them. However, it might be on selected routes... I was flying with them EU - JED - BKK/KL which was fine, but I was also flying EU - JED - CGK and that was horrible on both routes... so it really depends.

[@ianhalsall3677]

Would not be an issue for me travelling on a 'dry' airline. Comes a time when airlines should start to limit consumption of alcohol - diversions with 'unruly' pax seem to be on the increase.

[@Unprotected_Lex]

The uniforms are very sharp. The airline crew seem wonderful, it’s a shame the food didn’t taste as good as it looked.

[@Silver-iw4no]

Hello Josh! I have been a long time fan of your content and have inspired me to take my first solo trip with Qatar airways! I am flying from Manchester to Auckland and i am really looking forward to it. Please keep up the content!

[@janicehopwood9528]

Josh, I love the amenity kit and think the mystery item is a seat belt protector so it doesn't chaffe your neck. I'm sitting at home unwell, so you are a welcome distraction.

[@nh7784]

I flew Saudia in Economy last March, it was so good. One of the best experiences I ever had in Economy. You get a wet towel, good food, eye mask, socks and toothbrush with toothpaste. I was really surprised of the service. JED was also very good, especially that Saudi burger restaurant, it was cheap for an airport restaurant and taste good. One thing they can do better is to teach some airport staff English, since some of them couldn't understand what I wanted... @JoshCahill, you should try their Economy in the future!

I think we all know why the women are sit in a different class to the men sadly

[@tauhidahmed9985]

It’s called religious segregation, and Orthodox Jews do it as well. If you as a man are not related to a woman, why would you want to see them?

[@bardo0007]

@@tauhidahmed9985 You can have female friends , and talk to strangers on a Western flight. So yes it is not good.

[@MrMufcmad1]

i think the green thing in you amenity kit, was for going around your seat belt (car type ones) to make it more comfortable up against your neck/shoulders

[@lauraarguedas3088]

Can you do Air India again? My husband used them last month and it was all a nightmare! Apparently they have no idea what punctuality is!
