Oman Air Schedules New First Class Launch For July 1, 2018

Lucky, this is perfect. I've been looking at doing a points flight to London. Then on to Muscat and Zanzibar in Paid F or J. I'm taking the Mrs. on this flight, but sounds like a good getaway opportunity for you and Ford this summer too.

You can redeem Etihad Guest miles on Oman Air. Bookings must be maid through Etihad Guest at least 7 days before departure. It is 80,000 EY Guest miles between Muscat and London. Here is the link to the award chart.

You're right not really any good prices to LHR... at least 2200€ ow

First Class on the 787-9 from CMB to LHR on Oman Air are going for around 3400 USD one way, BKK to LHR for 3200 USD one way, and GOI to LHR goes for around 2800 USD one way. I don’t think those are fantastic fares but is as good as it gets on Oman Air

@Lucky I found some relatively good deals for Oman air first

My favorite that I saw was Kuwait-London $2,800 one way(my personal choice as it would allow you to knock off the last two airlines you need to book) its not insanely cheap but cheaper than anything else I've seen

I'm seeing Bangkok-Kuwait from $2,000 on Kuwait airlines in new 777-300 ER suite.

So both combined would be about $4,800 not your cheapest trip ever but I don't see either dropping in price much below those prices.

I hopes this helps and also will give you the ability to book the two into one trip to finish up your first class products and also gives you a great way to do a head to head comparison. If you do end up booking this congratulations on finally booking all first class products.

You can redeem 80,000 Etihad miles for 1 way MCT-LHR in F.

Hey what about those 77w from Rossiya? They still feature a first class seat...

Hey Lucky, what tool do you use to generate these itineraries and cost estimates? Is there a specific tool you use to find these fares?

@Abe
I'm pretty sure their 747s have a first class cabin as well...

So have you flown all first products out there???

did u figure out how u going from Sao Paulo back to the states?

also when will u be there? OMAAT meetup?

Sounds exciting! With LHR and KUL offering Oman's first class why don't you try the new MH a350 as well?

@Jason its ITA Matrix. Available online.

@Janis, that's a great fare! I've done something similar from KTM - more realistic place to be based in, and the fare is more or less the same as ex-KHI.

1 WY 332 J 06JUL 5*KTMMCT DK1 0930 1205 06JUL E 0 738 M

The fare comes to NPR 195,000 or roughly USD 1,900.

Hi Lucky - I've cross-posted on the Oman Air first class review by John also, but I'm very curious about how the airline responded to the complaints. It'll be great if he could share us the details!

@Hiro and Janis: How do you book those fares?

@Mike S. - I'm a travel agent so I get access to GDS. Since it's difficult to mix first and economy using online tools you can ask a travel agent or airline office to do it manually.

Lucky, great deal for Oman Air first class. Until April 10 they are offering 2 for 1 price for to/from Europe and could work out pretty decent if you're travelling with a companion. After July 1, apart from 789s offered for LHR route, old 333s with F will fly FRA&MUC. You can do an open-jaw to try out both. Ex-KTM seems to work out the best i.e. KTM-XMCT-LHR/FRA-XMCT-KTM costs NPR 327,698 or roughly USD 3,150 for 2 on WY website, so that's USD 1,575 each in return F (C for KTM-MCT-KTM).
