flyadeal Celebrates Saudi National Day with Cashback and Bonus Miles
flyadeal marked Saudi Arabia’s National Day with a campaign featuring cashback on eligible domestic flights, additional Alfursan Miles and participation in the Saudi National Day Airshow in Jeddah. The initiative combined travel rewards and special activations to encourage passengers to explore more destinations across the Kingdom.
The campaign was developed in line with Saudi Arabia’s broader tourism ambitions, offering customers opportunities to save on eligible bookings and earn additional loyalty rewards while supporting domestic travel.
For flyadeal, the celebrations also carried special significance. The airline operated its maiden flight from Jeddah to Riyadh on 23 September 2017, coinciding with Saudi National Day. Nine years later, the carrier celebrated the occasion with an expanded domestic and international network.
flyadeal Offers 96% Cashback on Domestic Flights
In partnership with the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA), flyadeal introduced a promotional offer providing customers with 96% cashback, capped at SAR 300 per booking, on eligible domestic flights.
Customers could access the offer by booking through the airline’s official website or mobile application using the promotional code SNDAY. The booking period ran from 20 to 27 September 2026, while eligible travel was scheduled between 4 October and 20 December 2026.
The promotion covered selected domestic destinations and was available across flyadeal’s fare bundles, subject to the applicable terms and conditions.
The offer was limited to 16,500 vouchers. Cashback was due to be credited after the completion of travel, with the vouchers valid until 31 December 2026.
Through the collaboration, flyadeal and the Saudi Tourism Authority aimed to encourage residents and visitors to discover more destinations within Saudi Arabia. By making eligible domestic journeys more affordable, the initiative supported efforts to stimulate local tourism and increase travel across the Kingdom.
The partnership also aligned with Saudi Vision 2030, which identifies tourism as an important area of economic development and seeks to strengthen the Kingdom’s appeal as a destination for domestic and international travellers.
flyadeal Adds 96% Bonus Alfursan Miles on flyMax
Alongside the cashback promotion, flyadeal offered additional loyalty benefits to eligible Alfursan members booking its flyMax bundle on domestic routes.
Under the promotion, members could earn 96% extra Alfursan Miles on top of the existing 100% bonus already credited on eligible Reward Miles. The offer applied to cash bookings only, giving eligible customers an opportunity to increase their mileage earnings when purchasing qualifying flights.
Bookings had to be made between 19 and 30 September 2026, with the eligible travel period running from 19 September to 31 December 2026.
The promotion added another incentive for frequent travellers to choose the flyMax bundle for eligible domestic journeys. By combining fare-related benefits with loyalty rewards, the campaign aimed to provide additional value to passengers travelling within Saudi Arabia during the National Day period.
The cashback and bonus-mile promotions operated under separate eligibility requirements and booking windows. Customers were therefore subject to the relevant terms and conditions for each offer.
flyadeal Participates in the Saudi National Day Airshow
Beyond its customer offers, flyadeal took part in the Saudi National Day Airshow in Jeddah, showcasing an Airbus A320 aircraft as part of the celebrations.
A rehearsal flight took place on 19 September 2026, ahead of the official airshow on 20 September 2026. The participation formed part of the airline’s wider National Day campaign, connecting its aviation operations with the Kingdom’s national celebrations.
The flypast provided an opportunity for flyadeal to participate in a public event celebrating Saudi Arabia’s national identity and aviation sector. It also highlighted the airline’s connection to the Kingdom, where its first flight took place on National Day in 2017.
The airshow complemented the campaign’s commercial offers, bringing together aviation, tourism and customer engagement as part of the wider celebrations.
flyadeal Reaffirms Its Commitment to Saudi Tourism
Commenting on the National Day campaign, Sanjiv Kapoor, Acting Chief Executive Officer of flyadeal and Executive Vice President of Strategies at Saudia Group, highlighted the significance of the occasion and the airline’s role in supporting travel across Saudi Arabia.
“Saudi National Day reminds us of the strength, ambition and hospitality that define the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. At flyadeal, we are proud to play our part by making it easier and more rewarding for people to travel, explore and experience the many destinations that make Saudi Arabia unique. Through these National Day offers, we want our customers to enjoy greater value, earn more rewards and create lasting memories as they travel across the country, while supporting the continued growth of domestic tourism and connectivity under Vision 2030.”
The statement reflected the airline’s focus on making travel more accessible while contributing to the growth of domestic tourism and connectivity.
With its expanding network, flyadeal connects passengers to destinations across Saudi Arabia and international markets. Its low-cost model offers travellers another option for journeys within the Kingdom, while promotional campaigns can provide additional incentives to explore different destinations.
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Growing Tourism Sector
Saudi Arabia continues to develop its tourism offering as part of Vision 2030, with greater connectivity playing an important role in helping travellers reach destinations across the country.
Airlines support this ambition by connecting cities and tourism destinations, giving residents and visitors more options for exploring the Kingdom. Promotional initiatives such as flyadeal’s National Day campaign can complement these efforts by offering eligible passengers additional savings and loyalty benefits.
The combination of cashback, bonus miles and airshow participation allowed flyadeal to mark the national occasion through both customer-focused incentives and a public aviation event.
Although the promotional booking windows have now closed, the campaign demonstrated how airlines can use national celebrations to engage passengers, encourage domestic travel and reinforce their role in Saudi Arabia’s evolving tourism and aviation landscape.
