One of the most important things to do is to find the best flight for your umrah journey. If you have the luxury of flexible dates, you stand to gain by getting the best prices!
In performing umrah, Makkah is the city where we need to visit. In fact, the umrah ritual begins when we started making our intention before entering the miqat, and we need to be in the state of ihram. If you choose to fly to Jeddah and travel directly to Makkah, you need to be in your ihram prior to entering Jeddah. If you wish to visit Madinah first, you do not need to be in the state of ihram on your flight.
