Great deal but watch out for similar deals from Emirates and Etihad! When Emirates had a fire sale for $800 with the inauguration of A380 super jumbo all other carriers like Etihad and very surprisingly even PIA put on a fire sale for $800 roundtrip. I was on a flight on etihad and a number of people told me they were on because of the price.

For Umrah visa etc. I highly recommend you to contact your Muslim travel agent that can help you get it.

No there is no international airport in Medinah.
Two years ago, we landed directly in Medinah.

I remember that sale and it was great one, my buddy jumped on it too. One can never tell when that sale gonna be happening again. I would recommend that if you are sure of your dates that you wanna fly on then better make use of this sale. These kinds of fares are rare, just like that last firesale.

Hmm ... I didn't know that. I used to live in Taif and there was a domestic airport there and I remember that one could fly from there to Mid east or South Asia.

Mr_A wrote: Saudi Airlines is starting new direct flights from Toronto to Saudi Arabia end of October 2013. I believe the first flight will fly on Oct 28th, 2013. They are having a sale right now on the fares to many destinations closer to Saudi Arabia. I am not sure when this sale will be ending. Call your local travel agent or go to the website to lookup the fares.

For example you can fly from Toronto to Jed for $760~ USD and that is a direct flight.
Toronto to Lahore - $930~ USD - The only thing is that those are not direct flights and there will be a lay over in Saudi Arabia for 4-10 hours.

I know that Emirates airlines and Etihad also have their occasional sales to south asian countries but this is a darn good price for direct flight to Saudi Arabia and/or connecting flight to Pakistan.

Happy hunting !
Is this one way or Rerun fare??

Well my uncle was a CFO for one of the major airlines, and he mentioned that he won't be surprised if the fire sale happens again. He is anticipating it will happen again.

My mom is not confirmed yet as to whther she is going, but if she does go I do know the dates...price may play a role in determining whether she goes or not (among other things)

To be honest I would not suggest this layover period to anyone sending their parents/elderly to Pakistan/India etc. 30+ hrs will not be comfortable at all.

Thanked.
I think Hajj is in late Sep, so umra visa will be open from late Oct. or so? so we can still book the ticket for say December, rite?

My thought on this deal was...Why not just go cliff diving without a parachute :D
or perhaps deep sea diving with three minutes of air :lol:

On a side note, I know that usually you need an "agent" in Makkah that will take care of everything including the hotel and food and you would have to buy their package. But so far my research shows me that one can just get the Umrah visa (for like ~$100) from the travel agent and go to Makkah by yourself to Makkah and arrange your own accomodation/food. Am I correct so far ?

You need to find Agent who can arrange visa for you . There is no visa fees but they charge service fees like sponsor company / fedex to Ottawa between 100-200$ . You will also need to see your family doctor to get shot for umra visa it cost around 100-140$ . You can get your hotel etc. online from Expedia or other websites earlier you book the better rates you get. Don't forget to get something with Free breakfast (their breakfast is good enough for 2 meal) . Transportation is available at reasonable price.
