Horrendous check-in at jeddah. We arrived 3.5 hours and 2.5h of that was waiting in line to check in our luggage. They would close random counters while still in line making you move. They don't speak english and yell at you for their own disorganization. Flights too close together and not separated so no dedicated counter per flight. Made it to boarding with only 7 min before gate close. They also lost one baggage and I am now struggling to find out status. No answer on phones. Horrible people. Never coming back again.
