I like Dan's content, even if he comes across as a bit entitled. He always said he's a soft product kind of guy and wouldn't mind Emirates 777 business class that people lambast all the time. If you want someone who I really struggle to gel with on aviation youtube, may I suggest someone whose initials are JC.

Suggestion. Fly Oman Air from Muscat to Khasab, no-one that I can find has done a review of the Khasab airport experience, it's the most amazing landing/takeoff, straits of Hormuz on one side and moutains on the other, you can even see Iran across the straits.

Outstanding review. It was nice that you showed both the vegetarian and non vegetarian main courses. Usually, if a reviewer is vegetarian, all you get to see is the vegetarian choices(so annoying to me 😂). If the reviewer isn't vegetarian, everyone who is a vegetarian gets short-changed by not seeing what is offered on board for them. Thanks, David for covering all of the bases. 😊
