No, nobody.

Shall we ask the Mods to close the thread now?

PS - in terms of sq. km., and including car parks, terminal buildings, aircraft runways and taxiing areas etc, it's the biggest airport in the world..........

Dean............This was a serious question.........and you are obviously one of those people who talk sh1te just to get their numbers up to get you at the top of a forum. Get a life mate. If you check out www.andalucia .com there is an equal tw&t (spanishlad) on there aswell............Meanwhile I will have a beer and have a chuckle at your inept response... dead funny.

OK I'll play along.............. WHY do you want to know if anyone works at Riyadh airport? How likely is that? If one lone voice says 'yes, I do', what difference will it make?

If you think my response was unhelpful, go to Riyadh airport directly, and say to someone 'do you work here?'.

Much more likely to be successful................

I worked there a few years back - when it was being built. Fantasic airport and yes it is the biggest in the world if you measure the whole area inside the perimeter fence.

Are they still taking fingerprints & photos at immigration on entry? When I arrived in Riyadh at the beginning of July it took F-ing ages to moved just inches in the line. By the time I got past the wannabe officer (just old enough to grow pubes), all of the baggage had been pulled off the carousels and baggage from about 4 different flights had been mixed up

There were 2 lines for non nationals I was in in the line for people that had had there prints and photos taken and although our line was quicker there was 4 times the amount of people so still ended up taking forever!
