I can’t say that my recent flight on Saudia was great, though it paled in comparison to the video footage of a recent Saudia flight that’s starting to go viral. In the not-even-minute long video you can see the horrible condition of the aisles, bathrooms, etc. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a plane this disgusting.

Here’s the video:

The most shocking part is that this footage was taken on a flight from Jeddah to Addis Ababa, which is a flight of only about 850 miles, or about two hours. How the cabin got that dirty on such a short flight is beyond me.

Have you ever seen a cabin so filthy?!

I've actually heard that in some countries when you have flights to Mecca for the hajj (the Muslim pilgrimage for those who don't know), many people are getting funded by various sources for the once-in-a-lifetime trip. Therefore, a number of people are flying for the first time, and maybe they do not know the same etiquette about being on a plane? This certainly is not everywhere by any means, but I have heard of this being the case.

"A friend of mine worked in aircraft cleaning at a European airport. When they had to clean Saudia planes they were issued with protective clothing, breathing masks, extra strong disinfectant and tripple pay. Nothing less would do. So not surprised." You made that up.

Thought it was only fair to follow up on this. My flight to Amman in Saudia Economy was pretty uneventful – cabin nowhere as messy as I've seen before. And on my flight back to Riyadh in Business, the service was excellent (following up on one of Lucky's other posts). Credit where it's due ...
