Since being shared, it has raised over 190,000 on social media. Many people became suspicious and checked for themselves whether the transaction was genuine.
“Are you serious?” said a user.
“It’s crazy! I just checked and it’s April 17th at 6pm on Saudia Airlines,” the source said.
A third person wrote: “If the plane is a Boeing, it may be missing some panels, which could lower the price.”
“Are you kidding me?!” one person said.

“Please update or investigate and see the 100% increase,” the user said.
“Maybe it’s because very few people can arrange a visa in such a short period of time,” the user said.
One user wrote, “Maybe someone messed with the backend!”
