This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

“This is laughably good” – Tyler, The Menu (2022)
If Oman Air business class is this good, then I'm definitely stoked to see their first class!
Great Video Kevin, thoroughly enjoy your content, as what I would consider an 'expert in the field'. I have upcoming travel in Class I and had to make the hard decision between EY, SQ and WY for my travels, due to A/C types, I opted for EY 388 & 789 and SQ 781 and 388 for my return. With the only reason for not choosing WY being the second leg of my journey which would be operated by their 737-MAX cabin in a 2-2-2 config without direct aisle access. I wonder what you would have chosen!
The Sultanate of Oman is a country rich of kindhearted and welcoming people. The understatement seen in Oman Air's Apex product resonates the very same Omani values. Being born in Muscat, I can truly understand why aviation enthusiasts love Oman Air's product & service! You would love to visit the Alila, Anantara, Sixth Senses properties Oman has to offer! Sorry but nostalgia caught me with your impressive review of the flight! Looking forward for WY's flagship route in first class Kevin!
I am wondering how Oman Air still are a hidden gem. They might not have QSuites, but they have all the rest.
Forget Newark! I hope Oman Air sets up a route to/from Houston, Texas!
Amazing video as always ❤ thanks for sharing again Kevin.
I tried to look in the description where / how you book your flights. Do you use a specific website or anything? Many thanks and keep up the amazing work! Thanks from down under
I'm really enjoying your content, along with your dry sense of humor which I love.
How many times a year have you fly to BKK?
Mezze is the perfect starter on a flight.
Great vid interesting. More this year. Now this was very informative as far as traveling in first or overseas BUSSINESS class. Long haul. But your next flight can you do a walk thur of the whole plane if possible.. look economy seats suck mostly. The new phase is the airline's coach extra or some fancy name but looks better then standard coach on long haul flights.. air new Zealand 🇳🇿 was rated number 1 in economy plus I think. But there flights are all long hauls..next vid can you change the music to soft jazz or hotel type piano lounge music.. a good song for taxing and night take off is the shadow of your smile. Instrumental version. Your grade today is …….. A … post more soon please.
Pre-covid on overnight flights Oman Air not only provided amenity kits but also pyjamas! Flew with them twice and was always amazed by everything. Highly recommend this airline!
There are channels that feature reviews without voice. Then there are channels that feature the person traveling who gives a review on camera. I like your approach…you focus on the product, not you, but you still narrate and give great information. Well done!
Been flying that route 2x now 2019 & 2022 and further to Germany from Muscat in Business class. Very enjoyable flights. Seats are indeed fantastic and so is the airport. Food & Service in our opinion was good but a little unpolished on all legs on both occasions. Wine service is kind of filling the glass to the rim…not complaining but not quite right. Sometimes we felt they made up with quantity while missing the last bit of quality. Never had an issue, always punctual and yet to loose any luggage. Overall so far for us too one if not the Best experience we had.
Nooooooo, don't tell people about Oman Air! It's the best kept secret! lol.
You are generous. I would have taken at least 5 points off for the amenity kit.
Suvarnabhumi Airport badly diminishes First and Business Class experiences for all passengers lately as the Fast Track queue through security took upwards of 45 minutes last in the beginning of February. Almost missed my flight.
I agree with your review 100%, I took the same flight travelling from Bahrain via Muscat, service was amazing, food was delicious and nicely presented and not to mention the price between Oman Air and Gulf Air
Superb review , looking forward to flying Oman Air business in the future , keep up the good work from a new subsciber
I am waiting for your comment on Phillippins airlines?
Is there free wifi onboard in business class?
nICE BUT GUSSING TO MUCH
Thanks for video
We just flown Oman Air Business Class FRA-MCT-BKK and return, same amazing experience. Excellent Amenity kit from Amouage was provides for Frankfurt flights. To Bangkok 'pijamas'.
Remarkable. The better known airlines based in Gulf countries are good. Who would have thought Oman Air would be even better? What a pity they don't fly to Australia yet. If they do, I hope their economy class will be good.
Hello Kevin…..Loved your Video Reviews……
Great video Kevin 👍 you are absolutely correct about Oman air business class, one of the best and underrated for sure. Pre COVID I flew DUB>>MCT>>BKK regularly in business and loved it. I am sorry to see their old amenity kits are gone, they were great and had Amouage products in a leather case, you can see them in my flight videos if you like, they were excellent kits. The Mezze was always top class!
the food looks next level divine for a flight tens of thousands of feet in the air. Your attention to the details is next level too…
how you pulled that landing view is amazing and incredulous.
I flew Oman Air 10 years ago. You brought back pleasant memories. Thank you.
Dude so influential.. he got the captain to do a merry go round before landing.
Thanks Kev for your unbiased and informative video. I'm considering a flight to Europe with them, because I've heard other glowing reports like yours. I love Emirates, but time for a change.
Cheers.
Great review, really covered all bases and held my attention nicely. I've been debating booking this product for a trip in November, think I'm sold. Good job! 👍

Nice video..thank you
Hi Kevin. I really enjoy your channel so much because you are the only reviewer giving us the specs of the seat. If possible, I wish you can review Korean Air Apex Suite on 747-8.
Love your reviews of my homeland, Vietnam.
I fly Oman between Dubai and Manila pretty frequently (changing planes at Muscat). Invariably a great experience and, along with Qatar, my two favorite airlines.
Very interesting and analysed information, much better to the comments from people seeking and getting free tickets.
