Thanks Ricky,
I just bagged and booked a flight. I could have got Kuwait Airlines for 535 but it would have got me there too late for the festival. I decided to go for a 'bit' of comfort and plumped for Emirates at 590. I know, far more than I wanted to pay, but it is the dates that I wanted. Thanks for your help anyway.
I used to fly on Saudi when I worked there for a couple of years, as you say, not the best, but functional
