How much is a flight from Jeddah to Riyadh?

The cost of a flight from Jeddah to Riyadh depends on the date, the time of day, the carrier, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we look up the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost on WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

The figure we send is the total: ticket, taxes and the baggage included in that fare. If a departure two hours earlier is cheaper, or a different airline includes a suitcase for the same money, we say so, because the cheapest Jeddah to Riyadh flight is often not the one at the top of a search.

Cheapest flight from Jeddah to Riyadh: how to pay less

Finding cheap flights from Jeddah to Riyadh is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Tell us if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

When you send the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Jeddah to Riyadh flight first, then the alternatives.

How to book flights from Jeddah to Riyadh with Haqqi Tours

The easiest way to book a flight from Jeddah to Riyadh is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you let us know by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you through WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Riyadh

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Jeddah to Riyadh flight with a transfer from your hotel to King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) and a driver waiting at King Khalid International Airport (RUH).

Airlines flying from Jeddah to Riyadh

Saudia, flynas, flyadeal and Riyadh Air fly the Jeddah to Riyadh route, non-stop. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

• Saudia - Jeddah to Riyadh
• flynas - Jeddah to Riyadh
• flyadeal - Jeddah to Riyadh
• Riyadh Air - Jeddah to Riyadh

Departure: King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED)

Your journey starts at King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED). We tell you the terminal for your airline, when check-in and bag drop close, and whether the airport has fast-track security worth booking. There is no metro in Jeddah; the Haramain high-speed rail connects the airport with Makkah and Madinah, which is superb for pilgrims, but a Jeddah hotel still needs a car from the terminal or the station.

• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Jeddah to King Abdulaziz International Airport
• Ask us about the terminal and fast-track options at King Abdulaziz International Airport
• Arrive about 2 hours before an international departure, 90 minutes before a domestic one

Arrival: King Khalid International Airport (RUH) and getting into Riyadh

You arrive at King Khalid International Airport (RUH). Riyadh Metro's Yellow Line now links the airport to KAFD and the city, a real option for a solo traveller; hotels in Olaya, Diriyah or the suburbs still need a car from the nearest station, which is why most guests book door to door. If you would rather not think about it, we book a private transfer from the airport to your hotel in Riyadh, with the driver tracking the flight in case it is late.

Arriving late at night? We note it and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the flight; a delay costs you nothing.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Jeddah to Riyadh flight

Baggage is the item that most frequently changes the real cost of a flight from Jeddah to Riyadh. Full-service fares usually include a checked bag and a cabin bag; low-cost fares start with a small cabin bag and add the rest. We tell you the allowance of the fare we send, and whether adding a suitcase at booking is cheaper than at the airport (it almost always is). Seats can be selected on most airlines for a fee or free at check-in; in economy and business the differences are space, meals and flexibility.

• Seat selection free or paid depending on the airline; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
• Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy

Flying with children, families and groups from Jeddah to Riyadh

Families fly the Jeddah to Riyadh route with us every week. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the carrier offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the airline for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Riyadh when you land

Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia, a vast grid city on the Najd plateau, with King Khalid International Airport (RUH) about 35 km north of the centre, the new metro linking the airport to the business districts, and the historic Diriyah and Masmak quarters at its heart. The reasons passengers fly from Jeddah to Riyadh include Al Faisaliah Tower, Kingdom Centre Sky Bridge, Masmak Fortress and the old Deira souk, At-Turaif in Diriyah, a World Heritage site and the National Museum. For the first meal, try Najdi jareesh and qursan, mandi in Al Malaz and Arabic coffee with dates.

Haqqi Tours offers guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Riyadh; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.

Best time to fly from Jeddah to Riyadh

Flights from Jeddah to Riyadh run all year, 10+ a day. November to March is pleasant and busy with Riyadh Season events; summer is extremely hot and dry, and the King Fahd Road corridor is slowest at weekday rush hours. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Riyadh to Jeddah

We book the return leg from Riyadh to Jeddah just as easily, normally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
