Cheap Flights from Riyadh to Addis Ababa — $107

Riyadh is served mainly by King Khalid International Airport (RUH), the city’s primary international hub that handles most long-haul and regional flights and is typically used by full-service carriers alongside a growing number of low-cost operators. The airport lies about 35–40 km north of the city center; transfer options include metered taxis (roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic), private cars or ride-hailing services, and scheduled airport shuttles—expect transfer fares to vary by provider. RUH offers modern terminals with ample lounges but can be busy during peak Haj and Umrah travel periods; convenient for international connections but sometimes less handy for quick downtown access.

Addis Ababa Bole International (ADD) is Ethiopia’s main international gateway and typically functions as a regional hub, with Ethiopian Airlines dominating long-haul and connecting services while a mix of international carriers operate less frequently. Flights through Bole can be competitively priced for Africa–Europe and intercontinental routes, though fares vary with season and demand. The airport sits roughly 7–10 km southeast of central Addis; taxis and ride-hailing usually take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost a modest local fare, while airport shuttles and hotel transfers are common. Pros: good connectivity and modernized passenger facilities; cons: busy peak periods and occasional congestion en route to the city.
