Saudi royal kingdom

As many of you realise BA are restarting operations to saudi. They have sent all crew a list of Do's and Don't and it seems the list is endless. Girls will have to cover up with the abaya. Plus head scarfs if fair haired or islamic looking. Although I dont like the idea of having to leave my laptop at home remove all magazines and papers from my luggage, not wear shorts and hide my sexuality. I understand if the airline wishes to fly there taking good yield cash from the punters the least we can do is accept the local conditions and respect their culture no matter how foreign it is to ours. If I could pick and chose routes I wouldn't be flying very much. Eg Africa can be unsafe/ India dirty and beggers/ tel aviv etc etc and I am not trying to pick on any one nation just saying lots of places have downsides.
