Step-by-Step Check-In Guide
1. Visit saudia.com or open the Saudia mobile app. 2. Select 'Check-In' and enter your booking reference (PNR) and last name. 3. Confirm passenger details and enter any required passport or visa information. 4. Select or confirm your seat assignment. 5. Add any extra baggage if needed. 6. Download your digital boarding pass or receive it via SMS/email.
Documents Needed
Booking reference (PNR), valid passport for international flights, visa if required, and photo ID for domestic flights.
Seat Selection
Seat selection is available during online check-in. Standard and preferred seats may incur a fee depending on the fare class, while some fares include free seat selection.
International Check-In Rules
Passport and visa details must be entered during online check-in. For flights to the USA, mobile check-in is not available and passengers must check in at the airport. Document verification may be required at the counter.
Group Check-In
Group check-in is available online by entering the shared booking reference (PNR). All passengers in the booking can be checked in simultaneously, and seats can be selected together.
Troubleshooting
1. 'Cannot check in online' - Often due to document verification requirements (e.g., visa checks); proceed to the airport counter. 2. 'USA flight check-in error' - Mobile/web check-in is not permitted for USA flights; airport check-in is mandatory. 3. 'System error during check-in' - Try using the Saudia mobile app instead of the website, or clear browser cache.
