When to leave Madinah for your flight
Missing a flight is the biggest worry on this route. Plan backwards from your departure time: 4 to 4.5 hours on the road, a short break, and at least 3 hours at the airport before an international flight. That means leaving Madinah about 8 hours before departure.
| Flight time | Leave Madinah |
|---|---|
| 06:00 | 22:00, night before |
| 10:00 | 02:00 |
| 14:00 | 06:00 |

For a domestic flight, ask your airline how early to check in and add about 5 hours for the drive and a break. In Ramadan, Hajj season and on Friday evenings, leave earlier. Send us your flight time and we suggest the right pickup time.

| Haramain High Speed Railway | Solo travellers and couples with light bags | Has a station at Jeddah Airport and is faster on the rails. You need a ride to Madinah station, trains run to a timetable, and luggage is limited. Busy dates sell out. |
