Anyone transit through Riyadh (RUH) Airport before? Do they check your luggage all the way through or do you have to collect it and re-check it like in Wuhan?
Thanks

I have but I originated in a different city in Saudi, not outside the country. Bags were always checked all the way through.
If you haven’t transited a Saudi airport before you’re in for a real treat Garrett 😂. I spent 3.5 years there and now I would gladly pay double to avoid them and their airlines.
Lol thanks man, that cheered me up. The more I read the more I'm second guessing it. Apparently you need a transit visa and health insurance for layovers longer than 12 hours too.
