DHAKA, July 3, 2022 (BSS) - Saudia, formerly known as Saudi Arabian Airlines, 
will collect its hajj passengers' baggage from their respective hotels or 
other accommodations 24 hours prior to their departure for reducing pilgrims' 
hassles by limiting airport awaiting time. 

The flag carrier of Saudi Arabia will also issue Hajj pilgrims' boarding 
passes and luggage tags to eliminate hold-ups during check-in, a Saudia press 
release said here today.

The airline initiated the new luggage service for its international Hajj 
passengers from the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to offer pilgrims to 
travel easily without worrying about carrying around their luggages after 
their pilgrimage.

Saudia hajj passengers have been requested to use WhatsApp and email to avail 
the free offer.
 
In this regards, travelers from Makkah can connect by email - hajjm1@jed-
sa.com, or WhatsApp number +966515223812 while from Madinah by email- 
[email protected] or WhatsApp on +966515223813. 

Saudia has also launched an awareness campaign to aid pilgrims through 
customs and airline regulations when traveling home.

Under the campaign, information on baggage claim and delivery procedure were 
posted in 20 international and domestic stations, hotels, campsites, and holy 
sites in Makkah and Madinah in six different languages and signs.
