Flyadeal adds 24-hour free cancellation and connecting itineraries

Flyadeal is adding two booking options, the Saudi low-cost carrier says. The first, "Time to Think", lets customers cancel within 24 hours at no cost and get the full amount back on their original payment method. Bookings must have been made on the airline's website or app, and departure must still be at least seven days away.

The second, Flyadeal Connections, allows connecting itineraries within Saudi Arabia and abroad to be booked on a single ticket, with baggage checked through to the final destination. Connections via Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Medina raise the number of city pairs Flyadeal offers from 58 to 236, according to the airline, adding 178 travel options involving one stop.

The carrier did not give a start date for either option.
