You have to fly this airline! Oman Air 787 Business Class
Oman Air is not airline I knew much about nor had I flown them before. But this one flight from Bangkok to Muscat on their flagship 787 in business class has me hooked! I'll definitely be flying them again. Why? Because Oman Air has the best business class seat and bed in the sky. They offer dining on demand and their crew are really really good.
Don't believe me? Watch this Oman Air flight review to find out exactly why I like them so much - and also what I really didn't like about Oman Air.
This Oman Air business class review covers my entire journey with Oman Air from Bangkok to Muscat in the Boeing 787. This includes the Oman Air business class lounge at Bangkok airport, boarding, take off and the incredible inflight service from Oman Air.

I flew Perth to Heathrow business class with Oman last year. They don't fly to Australia so flew Malaysian to KL then onto Muscat then Heathrow. Such a great airline and great service and sooooo comfortable. Would do definately fly with them again.

I've often wondered why these seats are not more popular. They're basically the perfect blend of passenger comfort + space utilization for airlines.

From what I've heard: a.) They're quite heavy meaning more fuel burn for airlines, and b.) The space utilization is good, but not the best. JAL, Korean Air, and Oman Air all only have 24 of these seats between doors 1 and 2 whereas other airlines using reverse herringbone or staggered seats can get at least 28 seats in the same space (United manages 32!)

The food stunned me . The fish you had with roasted pine nuts, looked, and probably tasted sensational. Dining on demand is essential on long haul, because you never really know when you are going to be sleepy. Generally I use the full meal service to send me to sleep. You are right, the IFE looked very frustrating. Thanks again Dennis for a great video.

Flew Oman a number of times in J, and it's easily one of my favorites. As with your review, the hard and soft product is great, and the prices can be head for significantly cheaper than other airlines, and their direct ME3 competitors. I highly recommend it, but they still don't get much love purely due to to the mainstream ME3 carriers.

Never flown them, but this week I flew klm from joburg back to Amsterdam, great flight, only downside was the business lounge at Amsterdam, very impersonal and waaay too big so no quiet place. But we tried klm on your review, glad we did. Great flight and great service but the set up between seats is awful, screen between the seats was fixed, as I was flying with husband in the next seat each time I wanted to talk to him I had to lean round it, hopeless. However it meant we didn’t have a longer trip home via LHR. Short hop from AMS to Bristol, much easier. Love these reviews. Next for me is united to the USA. Have to check your review for them. Thanks Dennis.

I used Oman business class a few times in 2019 and found it to be great (the BC lounges at Muscat are good, too). I also liked the seat layout and design and thought other airlines would do well to copy it. One small thing I noticed - the dates used to be served from a fancy wooden presentation case with tongs rather than wrapped in plastic. A post-covid change I guess?

@nerikkarlsson119 Жыл бұрын

Nice presentation as usual Have never flown Oman air as far as I can remember. Looks like an interesting option when we move between Sweden and Thailand Would like to show the wife Oman (we can make a longer stop over). But now for next year, Qatar airways has given us a promotion option that we can't refuse (perhaps because I flew with them "quite a lot" in my business trips over the years), in any case I hope you have a nice time in Muscat. There is much to explore in the city and its surroundings.

Good Video Dennis. I flew oman air 3 years ago in the old Business class, which is very spacious and a 1-2-1 configuration. But as always said, it depends on the crew!! And my crew was not very nice oder busy, I thought, they ignore me as female traveller, travelling alone. And I had no chance to get entrance in the lounge. So, the hard product was very good, but the crew and the kindness are missing... But I´m looking forward to your next video! 😀👍

We flew Business Oman from Brissy to Paris in Feb 2020, unbeknown what was going to happening quickly after that. We enjoyed the flight the service was great and food excellent, also the lounge in Muscat was great as well as a interesting airport, unfortunately when we call from Aussie government to return home it became a shit show and did not return on Oman and tried for a few years to get a semi credit but alas they ignored us and we lost a lot of money on that flight. Yep we were a covid casualty of the airlines, but would still fly with them again if I could afford it. Thanks for your review.

It's always horrified me if I needed to do a No.2 on a flight. Especially one of the last flights I did UK - USA with Norwegian Air where it was a 737 doing what I think is long haul. They definitely lacked toilets, and you had to decide what you were doing before entering either forwards or backing in they were so cramp. Getting a clean rear end is definitely a winner if you had to! Seats looked excellent for access. I'm guessing you only get the super long bed on the window side with the isle side being shorter?

I've only flown with them once in Business, but many times in Economy. it's good, too and the entertainment system is easier to use! They code-share to Australia with Malaysian via KL. I much prefer that to using Etihad, Emirates or Qatar. It's much more relaxing. Muscat Airport's nice as well. A stay in Oman Dec-Feb would be the cherry on top of the cake.
