"Kuwait Airways has included a number of new cities to its winter schedule, commencing from October, such as Barcelona in Spain, Berlin in Germany, Abha, Al-Ula, Taif and Al-Qassim in Saudi Arabia," Al-Awadhi concluded.

Abdullah Al-Huwailah, Director of Ground Handling, said: "With the announcement of the launch of new destinations in the year 2023, Kuwait Airways has focussed its efforts on introducing new products that contribute to providing integrated services to our valued customers. Kuwait Airways will launch the Home Check-In services by the end of February for Royal Class passengers traveling to all destinations except for New York. This service includes allocating new cars equipped with the latest equipment for weighing luggage and providing check in procedures, issuing boarding pass, as well as designating a bus to the passenger's home."

Al-Huwailah indicated that the concept is one of the most important and distinguished services provided by Kuwait Airways to its customers and one of the new solutions to save time for the passenger and provide the best means of comfort for them. The Home Check-In is a free service and optional for passengers on Royal Class.

This can be done after the customer completes the procedures for booking the ticket on the website or Kuwait Airways' electronic application and selects the option of home check-in service, at least 48 hours prior to the flight. Following this, the car is sent to the passenger's home 24 hours before the departure time of the flight to collect their baggage, with the boarding card being issued to them.

Al-Huwailah added: "Among the Blue Bird's latest developments, Kuwait Airways will provide limousine car services starting from the end of February for distinguished travel classes. Passengers must make reservations on the outbound flight through Kuwait Airways' website or application, 48 hours before their travel date. Moreover, the private car will be sent to their home, taking them to the airport. In addition to this, upon arrival, the passenger can request a car from the Maraheb office at the airport, to take them from the airport to their home."
