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. 😊

I think that I enjoy that while I know what you look like, we don't need to see you all the time and you use that time for the product itself. I enjoy the voiceover as well, which goes better with nonsense background music that most videos have.
