Availing Umrah Packages with Flights to Ensure Seamless Traveling

Umrah is a spiritual journey that every Muslim desires to carry out and they even spend their life savings to see the House of Allah with their own eyes. They also pay respect to the Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H by visiting His grave in Medina, in Masjid-e-Nabawi S.A.W. The entire expedition is carried out by Muslims to cleanse their souls, purify their faith and deepen their connection with the Almighty Allah. Several travel agencies worldwide cater to pilgrims’ demands and offer numerous Umrah packages. In this article, we’ll share with you, the details of Umrah packages with flights. We’ll also discuss other related topics as well regarding Umrah packages, especially for the citizens of the U.K.

Requirement for Flights

Most pilgrims live far away from KSA, so they need flights to reach the country for pilgrimage. The following are the two types of flight services:

a)     Direct Flight

b)    Indirect Flight

Let us discuss both!

1.     Direct Flight

In direct flight, the airline covers its distance without any stops and there is no variation in flight numbers as well. For example, for the people of the U.K., it is vital to know that British Airways conducts direct flights from Heathrow Airport, London to Jeddah Airport in KSA. Similarly, Saudi Airlines conducts a direct flight from Heathrow Airport in London and Manchester to Jeddah Airport.

2.     Indirect Flight

Indirect flight means that the airline will cover its distance with one or more stops and will alter its flight numbers or passageways.
