Is Saudia New York City-New Delhi flight ok?
I have to fly from NYC-New Delhi for emergency and Saudia airlines has a flight that's $1k one way compared to $2-8K on united, american airlines, emirates. It stops in Jeddah then onward transfer to New Delhi.
Just curious if it is safe to travel this route for any reason since the planes seem to be empty whereas every other flight is almost fully booked.
I saw similarly priced NYC-Helsinki-Doha(FINAIR)/NYC-Moscow-Delhi(AEROFOLO) but these required self-transfer and were not a good option.
Just wondering if there is a catch on the Saudi flight.

Saudia is a major international airline with a perfectly good safety record, you shouldn’t have any trouble.
A few caveats to be aware of:
- Saudia is a completely dry airline. Alcohol is not served, and you can’t bring any in your luggage. The same goes for other things that are banned in Saudi Arabia like pork products. This question has more details.
- If you have an Israeli passport or any evidence of travel to Israel in your passport (including relevant stamps from the Israeli borders with Egypt or Jordan), you probably won’t be allowed to fly.
