      I had very bad experience with Oman air,
      They are not even replying to my complaints, Which includes
      1. Providing confirmation of itenary for Non-operational flight
      2. Re- routing a journey with a layover, where the next flight was impossible to catch.
      3.Lost and Damage language
      4. Reasonable compensation for Arriving final destination 24hrs late.
      The worst airline back office experience I ever had.

      Why my experience flying with oman airways is different from what you've shown, actually one of the reasons why I chose oman airways because of your vlog but my expectation was not met, my flight is from kuwait to Philippines and we had a stop over in Muscat for long 13 hours, then finally we fly from muscat to Philippines (it will take around 8 to 9 hours flight)of course most of us are hungry after staying for long hours in muscat but for this 9 hours flight they gave us scrambled eggs, bread, butter and jam for breakfast and only pie for the rest of the flight and for coffee or soda they will give you only half of 7 oz plastic cup, there is no rice or heavy meal even sun visor or socks was not there although I don't mind that, i paid 1300 usd for the ticket (round trip)that's why maybe my expectation is high, or maybe you're European and we are Asians, just sayin'. But for me that will be my last flight with oman airways and I won't even promote it, they're not even close to the likes of Emirates airline, Qatar Airways and Kuwait airways which are the best airlines in gulf.

    I’d just like to share that when I was still in High school, we used to travel to Muscat from the Philippines a lot (bec that’s where my dad worked). Since then, we’ve flown Thai Airways (MNL-BKK-Karachi-MCT), Emirates (MNL-DBX and then DBX-MCT), Etihad (MNL-Abu Dhabi and then Abu Dhabi to MCT) and even Gulf-Air, which is a direct flight before from Manila to Muscat. It was only recently that Oman Air offered direct flights to the Philippines. A year before my dad retired, we went back to Muscat for the last time and our seats were upgraded to Business Class (yes the underrated Apex suite!) and it was super awesome! Imagine getting an amouage eye cream from the amenity kit. Overall, I think it’s a great airline to compete with and it saves a lot of time for me to have layovers (not that I hate layovers, I actually loved exploring Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Bangkok’s HUGE airports before). And for a nonstop ticket, it’s the cheapest one we can get to get home! Honestly, it is underrated and it needs more like you content creators to make it even more popular!

    With the big 3 contributing to the major traffic of the gulf, smaller airlines such as Oman, Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways have to deal with the left overs. They may have a good service but their network scale doesn't help them sustain on the longer run. I too hope these smaller airlines flourish like their neighbour's

    Great review as always. I flew Oman Air about 7 years ago twice - from South Asia to Kuala Lumpur and then from South Asia to Egypt. The flights from South Asia to Kuala Lumpur were extremely nice and mirrored the service you documented. For the ones to Egypt, from Muscat to Cairo it was on an old Boeing 737 with horrible legroom, horrible service and overall a bad experience. That was a couple of years ago (full details on my blog) and in the old terminal (which could not handle the capacity)

    1:48 no, the 787 was made for a 2-4-2 configuration just as the 330 who is the main rival ( no the 350). The thing which airlines is this: more seat more profit and 2 configuration is considered old

    Only ever had one problem in 36 flights and that was a male member of the cabin crew who wasn't rude to me , but extremely rude to some other passengers !
    Other than that , Oman Air gets a 5* from me , but their prices are creeping up .
