This is probably the cheapest flights Ive seen to go to Jeddah for Umrah
It does involve a connection in Milan and is hand luggage only – 40x20x30cm
Considering flying via Saudia or other carriers costs around £600-700 you are making a massive saving
If your object is just to do the Umrah then this is the cheapest way to do it
