London is a popular destination for several travellers. Dotted with many heritage landmarks, the beautiful city attracts people from around the world. And now, if you are someone who lives in Saudi Arabia, particularly in Jeddah then you are in for good news. We say this because if London is on your list of places to travel, you will be pleased to know that Wizz Air has announced a new service to the city in the UK from Saudi Arabia. Here’s everything about the service that begins in March 2025.
Wizz Air To Start Flights Between Jeddah & London
From March 2025, Wizz Air will become the first budget airline that will directly connect Saudi Arabia to London. Yes, it will connect the flights from London Gatwick to the Port City with tickets costing £134.99. This is for a one-way trip and the tickets are already on sale. It’s worth mentioning that this will be a seven-hour flight, which will be the longest to be operated by any low-cost airline in the UK. To be operated on a daily basis, this will be done via the new Airbus A321.
1st Budget Airline To Connect Saudi Arabia & London With Direct Flights
At this point, it should be noted that this announcement comes after Virgin Atlantic revealed a new daily route from Heathrow to Riyadh starting on March 30, 2025. Not only the two airlines, British Airways also revealed that it will be resuming its flights to Jeddah from London Heathrow in November after a five-year gap. This is hardly surprising as Riyadh is the fourth most connected airport in the Middle East and Africa, falling behind only Dubai, Doha, and Johannesburg.
Ever since Saudi Arabia opened itself for tourism, it’s now one of the most popular destinations for travellers, especially from the UAE. In fact, it was only recently that Flynas began two new Sharjah services the previous week. However, returning back to this route, it’s perfect for people who wish to travel to London in the summer of 2025.
