[0:03](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=3) Uh, right now, I'm at Jeddah Airport in Saudi Arabia. [0:09](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=9) I was supposed to be in Riyadh. I was lucky enough to land in Riyadh, but they brought us here, they dropped me off here. [0:14](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=14) You know, I swear I'm laughing only because I'm so upset, I'm about to cry. [0:21](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=21) I'll explain to you what happened to me in detail. [0:24](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=24) And why you shouldn't fly with Saudi Airlines. [0:28](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=28) The first thing you should know is that I came here as a tourist. [0:30](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=30) I mean, I came as a tourist, and all this happened to me. [0:35](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=35) Uh, I came here for something related to my future, okay? [0:39](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=39) I won't go into the details now. About the training, studying, and all that. [0:42](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=42) That's another topic. Uh, I just got my ticket with Saudi Airlines. [0:49](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=49) Why Saudi Airlines? Because my whole family always flies Saudi Airlines when they come here to Saudi Arabia. [0:54](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=54) Because it's the best airline, okay? That's the truth. It's the best airline for air travel. [1:01](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=61) Uh, and it's direct, I mean direct from Paris to Riyadh, so I'd be comfortable. [1:05](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=65) And it's expensive, more expensive than other airlines. [1:09](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=69) It's more comfortable, okay? I could've taken another one that was cheaper, with just, like, a transfer somewhere else. [1:16](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=76) And that's it, none of this was supposed to happen to me. [1:19](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=79) What I couldn't figure out was what happened to me, with the people working for Saudi Airlines, not with the plane. [1:25](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=85) Okay, today I arrived at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. [1:29](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=89) I gave them my passport to check my baggage through to Riyadh. [1:34](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=94) You could even see Riyadh on the board. I went up to her, and she said, "Look, it's showing in the system that there's a problem in Riyadh." [1:42](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=102) I already knew there were problems in Saudi Arabia, okay? [1:46](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=106) But the plane was operating. I gave her my passport, and she told me, "Unfortunately, there's a problem. [1:51](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=111) You can't fly to Riyadh anymore. You'll fly to Jeddah instead, but in Jeddah they'll give you another plane that will then take you to Riyadh the same day." [2:00](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=120) I accepted. If I hadn't, I mean, heard those words from her herself… [2:04](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=124) And this was written in the emails. I wouldn't have accepted. [2:07](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=127) But this reached me by email too, after I accepted. [2:10](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=130) I told them, "Okay." The plane took off. [2:14](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=134) But thank God, mashallah, the weather was really nice. [2:17](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=137) The people working on the plane, mashallah, were so nice. [2:20](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=140) Their food was good, comfortable, and everything. [2:23](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=143) I already knew that. That's why I chose Saudi Airlines. [2:27](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=147) I arrived in Jeddah. I got off in Jeddah. [2:30](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=150) I ask them, "What…" Poor Dad called me, and he was completely cut off. [2:34](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=154) Anyway, um, I got my baggage. Thank God, my visa was still valid. [2:39](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=159) I always come to Saudi Arabia, okay? I like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf so much, I always come here. [2:45](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=165) And I still have my visa. I mean, it still has plenty of days left. [2:48](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=168) It has at least a month and a half. I came out and went to get my baggage. [2:54](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=174) Just like the dates guy told me, "..." He told me, "Do it like this. You have to go out here." [2:59](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=179) I went out. Um, I went to their office, the Saudi Airlines office. [3:04](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=184) Look, I swear to God, I left this morning. [3:08](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=188) It's nine minutes past ten now. Since six, they've been sending me from one office to another, from one office to another, over and over. [3:17](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=197) With my baggage, look, with my baggage and all my stuff, and you threw me out. [3:22](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=202) They don't care. They have no idea whether I'm a girl, whether I'm a tourist, whether... [3:28](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=208) I was left there crying and everything. Okay. Uh... [3:33](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=213) What did they tell me in the end? We can't do anything for you. [3:37](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=217) The only solution is for you to get, uh, another ticket. [3:40](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=220) You pay for it. I paid 320 euros. I said, okay, the first flight was at eight. [3:47](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=227) They told me they couldn't get it for me. [3:49](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=229) Even though there was still an hour left. [3:51](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=231) I mean, I wanted to pay for the baggage. [3:52](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=232) They said, no, there wasn't enough time. Okay. [3:55](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=235) There was another one at ten. They said it had been canceled. [3:58](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=238) I went to check the board. To check the board, it showed the flight was still on. [4:03](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=243) And I could see people were still boarding. [4:05](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=245) I tell them, but I can see from afar that they're boarding. [4:08](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=248) They tell me, "No, actually…" There was another one at three in the morning. [4:14](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=254) They wouldn't even arrange a hotel for me, or food, or somewhere to put my things, any of that, or a flight, or anything. [4:24](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=264) I mean, I'm telling you, Saudi Airlines? No. [4:27](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=267) Bottom line, bottom line, it's impossible. [4:31](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=271) I mean, you fly all the way from Paris to Riyadh and find people in Jeddah who don't care, who have no idea. [4:40](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=280) Now I'm waiting. At ten, they told me something about three, that I'd board in… [4:45](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=285) I hung up because they kept calling me. I'm waiting for them to confirm that it's all good, that the flight is going to take off, so I can— so I can book it. [4:57](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=297) But this is the last time with them. There you go. [5:01](https://preview.translate.mom/transcript/jcfnNyKR5YTs/transcript-of-travel-experience-with-saudi-airlines?t=301) I'll show you again. Look. Mashallah.
