Join me on the world’s newest and most hyped airline to see what it’s all about! I flew Riyadh Air’s flagship long haul economy class route from London Heathrow (LHR) to Riyadh (RUH) to see if the world’s most hyped new airline actually lives up to the massive marketing hype and industry pressure! Now that the glittering inaugural flight celebrations are over and the PR teams have gone home, what is Riyadh Air REALLY like for a normal passenger on a regular day? In this unfiltered Riyadh Air review, we put their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner through a 7 hour endurance test. We explore check-in at Heathrow Terminal 4, briefly pop into the Plaza Premium contract lounge and dive deep into the onboard hardware. From testing the custom 13.3 inch 4K OLED touchscreen IFE with bluetooth headphone pairing to evaluating seat legroom, padding, and recline, we break down every single detail. We’re also testing the onboard Wi-Fi speeds and looking at the long haul dining service.
