Review: Oman Air First Class Service By Design

I must say it is really amazing! I like the entree. Looks really appetizing.

@lucky- what miles can you use to book awards with Oman First Class and how is the availability? Thanks

Very good review! Being used to travel on the best first class products available (paid tickets, no points or gimmicks), I will definitely give Oman Air First class a try.

@Endre, why don't you once again for the 13456th write that you fly PAID first class?? Because that's really relevant in your comment. People who actually do don't talk about it......

@Sam
Lucky used this brand new invention called cash to book the oman air first class ticket ;).

@KG Hater detected. Try not to hate and get inspired to make the right steps instead... That is if you want to enjoy a similar lifestyle

@Endre What do you do?

Is Endre really Debit posting under a different name?

Only being able to choose one appetizer seems a bit stingy, for a first class flight of this length. Yes, I know there is a soup and salad course to choose as well, but in comparison, Emirates lets you have soup, salad, plus 3 appetizers as well.

@Endre:

"Faker detected."

There, I fixed it for you.

Endre and Debit really became the meme of Omaat.

@KG I’m right there with you... which Endre doesn’t like to be called out for.

@Endre - If I may, you always say that you fly on paid tickets in First Class. However, I recently was reading a Qatar Qsuite review on this site (the JFK-DOH leg) and noticed that in the comments you said:

"I will never pretend to fly first class again. Now I will only pretend to fly Q-Suites."

I will attach a link below of the review and the comment should be the 9th one on it.

Endre, these posters are modest so I am going to help them out here. What they are saying is:

Their d*ck is larger than yours. Many times over. They are ready to compare it side by side anyday, anytime.

@Debit

Did you know that the Argentine lake duck that has a d*ck longer than its body.

So now Debit/Endre is having a conversation with themselves? Sweet.

Well @debit you got that the wrong way around.

Keep up man or don't bother.

Just got email from Garuda asking me to choose F class meal among 18 dishes CGK LHR and 15 dishes LHR CGK, nicely presented in two menues. First time I see this in Garuda F.
They call it "Book your meal".

Similar dishes as many on SQ book the cook.

Too bad Garuda discontinue LHR as of oct 28. Wonder where they will use that LHR aircraft? (Garuda only have 2 aircrafts with F class)

I thought there was going to be "light, judicious editing" when needed?

The food choices sound delicious! It's just about everything I would have chosen, so I'll be anxious to see how the actual dishes compare to their lofty descriptions.

The caviar presentation in the title picture looks amazing!

Why would you plan what you are going to eat 2 days before a flight?

What happens if you had a great meal the night before or a big breakfast that same day? Who the hell plans the things they are going to eat days in advance!

If only this was a standard across the major airlines and not just some small middle eastern one. Why cant the great things come to the US 🙁

@schar

You do realize that the reason that airlines offer this 'service' is to cut costs. The less food options they need to prepare saves time which equals money.

Imagine if Ben pre-ordered a meal but changed his mind on board. The crew can then easily say 'Well Mr. Ben you pre-ordered meal A and we are all out of meal B' and Ben would probably nod his head in resigned agreement.

Now imagine if Ben didn't pre-order a meal. As a first class passenger he would rightly expect everything on the menu to be available. Imagine then if crew told him that his choice was not available! Ben would be extremely upset and no doubt a fuming paragraph or two would be written.

Make no mistake about it meal pre-ordering is a cost saving measure by the airlines

I sort of agree with majik, above, about it cutting costs, but my take on the cost-cutting was different, though majik makes a very good point.

What jumped out at me was that all selections were chosen by selecting a radio-button (choose one) vs. having check-boxes (choose all that apply in case multiple items are desired).

Now this may be understandable for main courses, but for appetizers, many (most?) people choose more than one, and the same thing with dessert, where one might want, say, ice cream and fruit. Those are not options here.

And this really does smack of cost-cutting. Hey, making a profit isn't a crime, but being so blatant about it isn't smart.

Wait - SOUP OF THE DAY? Kind of defeats the whole pre-ordering thing you have going on here.
