Saudia flights from the UK — direct to Jeddah & Madinah
The national airline of Saudi Arabia flies non-stop from London and Manchester to both holy-city gateways — the pilgrim's first choice.
Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) operates direct flights from London Heathrow and Manchester to Jeddah — the gateway to Makkah — and direct services to Madinah, letting pilgrims land minutes from the Prophet's Mosque. No Gulf layover, halal dining throughout, prayer areas on board and Zamzam water carriage on the return: no airline understands the Umrah journey better.
As a UK-registered agency we ticket Saudia — an IATA-accredited airline — daily for Umrah families across London, Manchester, Birmingham and Bradford. We pair Saudia flights with Haram-close hotels, visas and transfers — or book flights alone with a free 24-hour fare hold while you confirm dates.
Baggage allowance
Saudia economy fares from the UK typically include 25–35 kg checked baggage plus 7 kg hand luggage — and on return flights from Jeddah/Madinah, pilgrims may carry 5 litres of Zamzam water free of charge (packed in approved containers).

Frequently asked
Saudia — your questions answered
Does Saudia fly direct from the UK to Jeddah?+
Yes — Saudia operates non-stop flights from London Heathrow and Manchester to Jeddah (around 6.5–7 hours), plus direct services to Madinah. It's the only carrier connecting the UK non-stop to both holy-city gateways.
Can I take Zamzam water on Saudia flights?+
Yes — Saudia allows 5 litres of Zamzam water per passenger free of charge on flights departing Jeddah and Madinah, carried in sealed, airline-approved containers available at the airport.
Is it better to fly into Jeddah or Madinah for Umrah?+
Both work beautifully. Landing in Jeddah puts you ~90 minutes from Makkah to perform Umrah first. Landing in Madinah offers a gentler start — days of worship at the Prophet's Mosque before travelling to Makkah by Haramain high-speed train (under 2.5 hours). We often book open-jaw tickets: into Madinah, home from Jeddah.
Do you sell Saudia flights with Umrah packages?+
Yes — we build complete Umrah packages around Saudia's direct flights: visa processing, Haram-close hotels in Makkah and Madinah, private transfers and Ziyarah tours. Packages start from £495pp, or book Saudia flights alone with a free 24-hour hold.
