SAUDIA, the national flag carrier of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, offers its guests a rewarding frequent flyer program through ALFURSAN. Guests benefit from numerous exclusive travel benefits and rewards that make every journey more enjoyable.

Through SAUDIA’s membership in the prestigious SkyTeam alliance, ALFURSAN members can also earn Miles with global airline partners.

Membership Tier
ALFURSAN loyalty program prides itself on rewarding our most frequent flyers with access to exclusive benefits. All members start with Blue Tier, gaining privileges such as exclusive partner offers, access to Reward Miles, and priority waitlisting, among other benefits. By simply flying with SAUDIA or SkyTeam partners, you can upgrade your membership to Silver, and Gold Tier. Each level comes with its own set of unique benefits and privileges, on top of what you earned in the previous Tier, giving you even more reasons to fly with us. As a Silver or Gold member you will have access to the ALFURSAN lounge, additional baggage on flights, and can earn more Reward Miles, helping you redeem your next holiday faster.

ALFURSAN Miles Program
Enjoy more from your membership with ALFURSAN Miles. You can earn and redeem both Reward and Tier Miles in the air on SAUDIA and SkyTeam flights, and earn Reward Miles on the ground by engaging in our fantastic partner offers, making it easier than ever to elevate your travel experience.
As you fly with SAUDIA and SkyTeam airlines, you will earn Tier Miles based on the distance traveled and the fare class of your ticket, helping you upgrade and enjoy more from your membership.
ALFURSAN members will earn Reward Miles by flying, as well as on the ground every day, by using an ALFURSAN Credit Card, or engaging with our partners and their incredible offers. Reward Miles can be redeemed for a Reward Ticket and flight upgrades, helping you travel sooner, and in style.

Family Program
ALFURSAN program offers an added advantage that enables you to pool your Miles by adding your family members to your membership. You can nominate up to 8 members of your family to associate with your membership record (including spouse, children aged 2 years and above, parents, adopted children and home workers under main member individual sponsorship). Each family member will receive a separate membership number so that all members of the family can enjoy the benefits of ALFURSAN program.

ALFURSAN Lounges
Lounge access is exclusive to guests flying in First Class and Business Class, as well as to ALFURSAN members with Gold or Silver status. First-class amenities can be enjoyed in the ALFURSAN Lounges – culinary delights, peaceful relaxation oases or private showers.
