Cheap flights from Manchester to Riyadh

The weeks around December, especially late November and early January, are the shoulder periods to watch, and December is the cheapest month named in the facts. School holidays, Christmas and the destination's summer can lift prices at other times, while midweek departures may be calmer. The dated fares run from October to August, so compare those months before you book.

The listed carriers are Jet2, Pegasus, Etihad Airways, Regent Airways, Royal Jordanian, British Airways, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Gulf Air and Saudi Arabian Airlines. Every option connects because no direct flights are shown, so compare total journey time, connection time and whether bags are checked through. The facts do not label any carrier as low-cost or full-service, so check baggage, meals, seat choice and change rules on each fare before booking.

King Khaled International is the capital's airport, and that usually means long walks, queues and longer transfer times. Road transport is the usual way into the city, so confirm your terminal and pick-up point before landing. Keep entry documents ready and check any arrival procedures for Saudi Arabia.
