flynas is adding five summer destinations from Riyadh — Rome, Munich, Budapest, Podgorica, and Malé — from June 24, 2026.
Three are brand-new, two return for the season. Here’s where you can fly and how to book.
What’s New This Summer
flynas launches three brand-new routes and resumes two seasonal ones, all from Riyadh’s King Khalid International Airport (RUH), all with three flights a week, all starting June 24, 2026.
| Destination | Status | What Awaits |
|---|---|---|
| Rome (FCO) | New | The Colosseum, Vatican City, and some of Europe’s finest food |
| Munich (MUC) | New | A gateway to Bavaria — beer gardens, castles, and the Alps |
| Budapest (BUD) | New | Thermal baths and Danube dining at a fraction of Western European prices |
| Podgorica (TGD) | Resumed | Montenegro’s Adriatic coast and rugged mountains |
| Malé (MLE) | Resumed | A direct beach escape with no connection through the Gulf |
The Maldives route is worth flagging: a direct Riyadh–Malé flight removes the usual stop in Dubai or Doha.
How to Book
Tickets are on sale now through the flynas website (flynas.com), the flynas app, or search platforms like Wego. Comparing across platforms helps you catch the lowest fare.
- Book early — Maldives and Rome fill fast for peak summer dates.
- Watch for launch fares on the flynas promotions page for the three new routes.
- Budget for add-ons — Light fares charge separately for checked baggage, seat selection, and meals on these routes; higher fare types include more.
Before You Book
Rome, Munich, and Budapest sit inside the Schengen Area, so Saudi passport holders and other visa-required travellers need a Schengen visa — apply well in advance, as summer slots get tight.
Saudi passport holders get visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to Montenegro and the Maldives. Residents on other passports should check the rules for each destination before booking.
