Re MD90, the performance was so bad that on hot summer days it couldn't even make Athens-Jeddah non-stop. One Italian passenger who was travelling from Milan to Riyadh on an MD90 found his eventual route was Milan - Athens - Tabuk (for fuel) - Jeddah - Riyadh. He tried suing Saudia for infringing his human rights - being coped up down the back of an MD90 for 14 hours.
