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

Arrival is at King Khalid International Airport (RUH), and the first decision is how to reach the city. 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. We provide airport transfers in Riyadh with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Onward flights or trains from Riyadh the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Manchester to Riyadh departure that leaves a safe connection.

Baggage, seats and classes on the Manchester to Riyadh flight

Baggage is the item that most often changes the real cost of a flight from Manchester to Riyadh. Full-service fares normally 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.

• Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• 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

Flying with children, families and groups from Manchester to Riyadh

Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.

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 travellers fly from Manchester to Riyadh include Boulevard World and Riyadh Season venues, the Edge of the World cliffs, Wadi Hanifah, Al Faisaliah Tower and Kingdom Centre Sky Bridge. For the first meal, try Najdi jareesh and qursan, mandi in Al Malaz and Arabic coffee with dates.

We offer tours and transfers in Riyadh as well as the flight ticket - one conversation, one plan for the whole trip.

Best time to fly from Manchester to Riyadh

Flights from Manchester to Riyadh run all year, several a week. 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 Manchester

We book the return leg from Riyadh to Manchester just as easily, usually 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.

How much is a flight from Manchester to Riyadh?

"How much is the Manchester to Riyadh flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for the date you travel quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Manchester to Riyadh: how to pay less

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

• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more
• Book early - low fare tiers open months ahead and sell first, especially for holidays
• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are typically cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Let us know 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

Airlines flying from Manchester to Riyadh

Saudia flies the Manchester 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.

Departure: Manchester Airport (MAN)

Flights from Manchester to Riyadh leave from Manchester Airport (MAN), serving Manchester - manchester is the capital of the north of England, a city of music, football and Victorian brick, with Manchester Airport (MAN) about 15 km south of the centre, Old Trafford and the Etihad on either side of town, and Liverpool, the Peak District and the Lake District all within an hour or two by road. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times. Online check-in opens 24 to 48 hours before and we send the link with your ticket. Getting to the airport: Trains from the airport reach Piccadilly in about 20 minutes and the Metrolink tram runs to the centre in about an hour; both suit one traveller, but match-day crowds, family luggage and a hotel at Salford Quays or Old Trafford make a car from the terminal simpler, and it is the only sensible option for the Lake District.

• Online check-in opens 24-48 hours before; we send the link and the booking reference
• Keep the passport or ID used for booking with the e-ticket - names must match exactly
• Check the baggage included in your fare - we tell you before you book
• Haqqi Tours can provide a private transfer from your accommodation in Manchester to Manchester Airport
