FAQs

How long does the flight from the UK to Jeddah take?

A direct flight from UK to Jeddah takes around 6 to 6 and a half hours from London, Manchester or Birmingham. If you fly with a stop, your total journey time will be longer, depending on the connecting flight and the length of your layover.

Which airlines offer direct flights from the UK to Jeddah?

Saudia operates direct flights to Jeddah from London, Manchester and Birmingham, while British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow. For connecting flights, and for travel to Madinah, you can also fly with Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways or Turkish Airlines.

Are there direct flights to Madinah from the UK?

Not at the moment. There are no non-stop flights to Madinah from the UK, so you'll travel with one stop on a connecting flight to Prince Mohammad Bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED). Many pilgrims fly to Jeddah's King Abdulaziz International Airport (JED) instead, as it has direct options.

What's the cheapest time to fly to Jeddah?

Fares are usually lowest outside the peak seasons. The cheapest time to fly to Jeddah tends to be away from Ramadan, the school holidays and Easter. Book two to three months ahead, staying flexible with your dates, and you'll find better, cheaper flights to Saudi Arabia from the UK.

How early should I book Umrah flights?

Around two to three months before you travel is a good guide. This gives you the widest choice of airlines and routes before prices climb. For Ramadan or the summer holidays, book even earlier, as these dates sell out quickly.

Can I book flights only without a package?

Yes. You can book flights only without a package if you just need your Umrah flight tickets. Bear in mind that flight-only bookings aren't always ATOL protected — we'll explain exactly what cover applies before you book.

Do I need a visa as well as a flight for Umrah?

Yes. Alongside your flight, you'll need a valid Umrah or tourist visa for Saudi Arabia. Most UK passport holders can apply online through the Saudi eVisa system, and we'll help you through it when you book your flights.

Can I book a one-way Umrah flight?

Yes, you can book one-way, though most pilgrims choose return flights for better value and easier planning. A one-way ticket suits travellers with flexible dates or onward plans. Let us know, and we'll find a fare for your dates.

Do Infants and children require a separate ticket?

Yes. Infants under two usually fly on a cheaper fare, often on a parent's lap, while children aged two and over need their own seat and ticket. Fares differ by airline, so tell us your children's ages, and we'll add them correctly.

Is the quoted fare guaranteed until I pay?

Flight prices can change until your booking is confirmed and paid for, as airlines adjust fares by availability. Your quote shows the price at that moment, so to lock it in we'd suggest booking and paying quickly — and we'll always flag any change before you do.
