Riyadh Air's Boeing 787 Business Class Flight Review: A Luxurious Experience
Riyadh Air, a newly launched airline, offered an impressive experience on its Boeing 787-9 business class flight from Riyadh to Madrid. The cabin was described as 'breathtaking' and featured high-end finishes, with seats that converted into 78-inch flat beds.
The author booked their ticket for $1,602 and credited it to Riyadh Air's Sfeer program, which is currently the only way to earn points on the airline. The business class lounge at Riyadh Airport was also reviewed in a previous installment, where the author described it as 'among the best business class lounges in the world.'
The flight had some minor issues, including slow service and non-functioning Wi-Fi, but overall, the experience was considered excellent. The crew was friendly and well-intentioned, although they were still getting used to their new roles.
