Saudia’s new service allows seat selection

Saudi Arabian Airline Company (Saudia) will enable its passengers to choose their favorable seats at the time of making reservation under a new service which will be launched in May. Deputy CEO for Commercial Affairs Khaled bin Hammad Al-Balawi said the service will be introduced first at the international sector and will later cover the domestic flights. He said the passenger will have to pay a fee ranging between SR20-SR50 for the choice of the seating on one way. He said the new service will have no effect on issuing the boarding pass 24 hours before the flight time. — SG
