    My mum stopped in Jakarta in 1963 going to London on a BOAC Comet 4, She had flown from Sydney to Darwin the Jakarta. The terminal if you could call it that was guarded by soldiers. The Comet took 2 stops to get from Sydney to Singapore. She stayed in Singapore a couple of nights then took a Qantas Boeing 707 for the rest of the trip. It was a grind with a number of stops along the way. The fare was in Economy was more expensive than it is now. Over 1000 pound return.

    I love that Oman offers a stopover service. Qatar has a similar system and it’s really nice to give your body a break from flying. Hopefully, they continue it after the pandemic.

    • @Paul_Lucas

    I had 19 very happy years working and living in Oman. I was there when Oman Air started with wet leased aircraft in the 90's and flew many times both Business and Economy with them till I retired in 2009. I missed out on them starting with the B787's unfortunately, but still remember the lovely hours flying with them, a truly wonderful airline in all respects.

    Plenty of airlines match row number to the cabin rather than the aircraft. CX is a great example where Row 11 is always the first row of J, then rows 30, 40 and 59 are always the first rows of each Y cabin. Helps with aircraft substitutions!

      Yes, not to mention the often and easily overlooked additions & improvements from the smaller conveniences/details like the swivel tray for exiting and entering your seat without having to rearrange to the amazing menu and food presentation, and let’s not leave out the Bollywood movies! Not everyday (especially in these times of the pandemic) that one can enjoy such comparison on the positive side! And for me, it’s also thanks to Wingin’ It Paul! 😀

    "I saw that" Paul, what a great trip (and started from Teesside no less!). Has been great following it, and I very much do like the look of Oman Air's offering in business, and very much admire the way they seem to quietly get on with it rather than being all flashy like other ME carriers...!

      And Muscat is a beautiful city..so if you can, take that one-day stopover. If enough time, you can drive into the desert and stay at someplace like the Wahiba Sands luxury tent experience. As it takes a few hours drive, perhaps a bit longer holiday to explore both Muscat and this.
