Saudia Airlines Flight Review - Economy Zurich to Bangkok for Under $500 - Was it worth it?

We flew Saudia in economy from Zurich to Bangkok via Riyadh for under $450—so cheap, you'd double-take. The first leg was almost empty—perfect for my pregnant wife after we paid ~70 CHF to block the middle seat. Seats were comfy, USB ports, air nozzles, hot towels … surprisingly smooth economy. Then came Riyadh → Bangkok: packed cabin, one power outlet between two seats, higher temps, and chaos from kids. Economy realness. But if you’re okay prepping with carry-on snacks, neck pillows, and the occasional accessory… it works. ✈️ Route: ZRH→RUH→BKK 💰 Price: $450 pp 👶 Tip: Bid ~70 CHF for the middle seat if you can—it’s worth it 🔁 Overall: One chill flight, one chaotic one, and a decent value if you go in prepared Watch the full breakdown: seat tour, gear we used, food, service, techno-surprises—and drop a comment if you’ve pulled the middle-seat trick before -------------- 🇬🇧 VIRGIN RED FREE sign up for 2000 Free extra points (this is how i flew FIRST CLASS): https://virginred.mention-me.com/m/ol... 🇬🇧 AMEX UK 💳 50,000 Points: https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/ref... 🇨🇭 SWISS Miles & More credit cards from Swisscard!
