This flight boarded a full 50 minutes before departure, so I had the business class cabin to myself for a good 10 minutes before any other business class passengers showed up.

"One thing I have to say about Omani people in general is that they’re extremely friendly. Truly hospitable, friendly, kind people, which I haven’t found to consistently be the case among locals in neighboring countries."

great review, but this social commentary is hilarious considering your experience of the country & its people consists of sitting in the national airline's business class for <14 hours...

It's always nice when an employee takes pride in their company, you know that the company takes care of their employees in return. Always a good feeling.

Lucky, can I ask why you keep choosing the last row of the cabin?
Generally these are not recommended seats according to seatguru because of the proximity to the galley and/or toilets.

Very interesting review as always! Thank you, Lucky!

Just on a side note: I find it a bit strange that passengers discuss their medical treatments with the FA... I wouldn't want to talk about that with strangers. In fact, I would even find the question of whether I am travelling for business or holiday slightly unpleasant. Why should they be concerned about that? But that might be a cultural thing, or maybe it is just me?

re “One thing I have to say about Omani people in general is that they’re extremely friendly. Truly hospitable, friendly, kind people, which I haven’t found to consistently be the case among locals in neighboring countries.”

Lucky, if by neighbouring countries you mean UAE, Kuwait and Qatar, I have to strongly agree with you. In general, some of the most unfriendly, self-absorbed and above all, rude people I have experienced. On the other hand, in general, people from Yemen are very friendly. Bottom line, different cultures and economic/cultural background.

Lucky, when I click the "Oman Air Lounge Bangkok Airport" link at the top of this page, it takes me to an Oops page. Is this because of a server update, or is it a broken link?

Oman and Bahrain are generally know to have the most friendly and nicest locals in the GCC. They are also the 2 least wealthy countries in the GCC. Coincidence?

Very useful review!!!
Since you found the praying experience soothing, why don't you read more about Islam. Will hopefully make you understand the religion more
