What’s Oman Air’s First Class like in 2023? Check out this 4K Trip Report & Honest Unsponsored Review on board an Oman Air 787-9 Muscat to London.
Hi there! My name is Kevin and today we will take a deep dive into the full Oman Air Long Haul First Class Experience. The Oman Air First Class is almost a secret in the industry as it flies on so few routes, but today we are going to take a deep dive into what it offers. We will start off at the Oman Air First Class Lounge where we’ll have a light lunch and a massage, then we will board and check out the First Class seat in detail (including my graphics), explore the food and drink offerings on board, have an incredible meal and of course we will wrap it up with The Flip Flop Score.

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!

Very nice video, i just started viewing your channel's videos and i really enjoy them as you answer all questions i have in mind about every business class seat and even more!! They also use first class for Frankfurt (with 787) and for Kuala Lumpur with their old A330-300 first class. So with Aeroplan you could get full First class from BKK to FRA/LHR for 100k Aeroplan which is really great value.
The First Class on Oman Air is probably there just to cater to certain Middle Eastern families/VIP who will insist on flying first class regardless of how much better it is compared to their business class which is already very good. As their target market is mainly Middle Eastern people who don't drink alcohol, the quality of the wine list is less of a concern.
Absolutely fantastic content. I think in a very short time you have managed to become my goto aviation vlogger. No click bait titles etc, just straight to the point fair commentary.
As a commercial pilot but mostly an enthusiast of aviation, hospitality, and travel I truly appreciate your effort! Keep it up!!
What a GREAT video I really enjoyed it, well done!!!!
I fly often Zurich Bangkok and Oman Air is one of the finest airlines in the air especially in business class.
Thank you for your straight forward approach. We can appreciate your thoughtful review without personal grudges and sling shots at the airlines. You come in with good expectations of the class and what it should look like. Can’t review economy through a business class prospective like other vloggers do and them come out feeling a huge let down. On the constant high to satisfy all their needs. Each airline and culture is different and you capture that very well and conveys that easily then most.
Thanks!
Interesting ✈️👍🇷🇺
Oman is such a beautiful country – the Jewel of the Middle East. Even their budget carrier Salam Air is lovely, possibly better than Oman air in economy
Now also KUL have first class (A330)
That's a nice Indian classical in the background
First class looks great on Oman Air Kevin, that amenity kit was the same type they used to supply to business pre COVID, a great little kit 👍
Wow,It's one of the very honest review from the aviation fan & I'm officially a new subcsriber now..Have you been to Indonesia going to capital city of Jakarta or the island of God's Bali & tried their 5 star airline of Garuda Indonesia ?🇮🇩..Cheers Kevin 🙂
New to your channel. Big thumbs up for great work! Classy 👍
I am thinking of starting a travel channel of my own. How do you create that cool animated seat maps? Googled it hard after watching your videos but cant find anything about it.
Thanks and keep up the good work!
have travlled oman air business class, loved it to bits and pieces. Hopefully will travel first class next time from London to Muscat.
14:00 14:22 19:04 and 19:32 Hey Kevin, one request can you make a video or mention what all Amenities kit items, Snacks goodies, in-ear headphones etc and shower items which are ok to take with you home and what do you usually take away?
I really love the commentary on your videos! You do a fantastic job of giving us the inside experience of these products from the comfort of our homes. Liked and Subscribed!
