A business class passenger’s first flying experience turned out to be an unforgettable experience when she met Bollywood actor Kartik Aaryan. In a video shared online, the Instagram vlogger seemed very happy to meet Kartik on board the Saudi Airlines flight on her way to Mecca for Umrah.

The vlogger said she traveled business class for the first time last year and looked thrilled as it coincided with her travel to perform Umrah. To put the cherry on the cake, she also had the opportunity to meet and greet Kartik who was sitting next to her.

“Pinch me please”

Feeling overwhelmed by her experience, including a surprise encounter with Kartik himself, the traveler wondered if it was a dream and asked viewers watching the video to “pinch me, please.” Apart from seeing the famous Bollywood personality, the vlogger said that even her business class flight is worth keeping as a memory.

After checking into Business Class, the vlogger got free lounge access and got the chance to eat some of the exquisite delicacies available at the Saudi Airlines Airport Food Court. When she finally boarded the plane, the passenger was amazed when she saw the spacious plane with its extended and comfortable seats.

For traveling at night, Saudi Airlines provided her with a pillow and blanket, and also gave her a luxury set that included headphones to enjoy the entertainment content available on the built-in screens. Saudi Airlines also provided a charging socket and drinking water to the traveler, who later received refreshments from staff on board.

“The kind of princess treatment I always wanted.”

The passenger, who later received a three-course meal on board, said it was “the kind of princess treatment I always wanted”. Once she finished her meal, the passenger entered the toilet and found the cleanliness to be excellent. Later, she leaned back on her seat and slept very comfortably.

While the video of the traveler traveling in business class via Saudi Airlines meeting Kartik Aaryan caught people’s attention, they echoed her excitement and happiness in the comments section.

One of Almusafir’s online followers said: “Wow…this feels like a personal win.”

Another person said: “This is a dream come true moment for anyone.”

“Give my regards to Kartik Aaryan,” one person quipped.

At the end of the clip, the passenger approved of Saudi Airlines’ facilities and travel comfort with his thumbs up and recommended others to try their business class services at least once in their lives.
