Route notes
Why this routing works
This two-week economy itinerary uses an open-jaw structure in Saudi Arabia: fly from New York City into Riyadh, make the Riyadh-to-Jeddah segment overland, then return from Jeddah to New York City. That setup avoids backtracking and keeps the route linear inside the country.
Because the middle segment is traveled overland, the ticketing is straightforward as a multi-stop plan with a surface sector between the two Saudi cities. For a short trip length like this, that can be a practical way to combine two arrival and departure points without forcing a roundtrip in and out of the same city.
With departure in November and a total trip length of two weeks, the timing is compact and better suited to travelers who want a simple international routing rather than a long multi-region itinerary. The fare range here starts at $500 and runs to $762 in economy.
