As it is everything else … and we are flying again - do yourself a favor and don’t choose Oman air for your flights ever. They ripped of thousands of travelers in the past 2 years.

TLDR : Answer Summary
Travelers are expressing dissatisfaction with Oman Air, citing issues from the past two years where many were reportedly ripped off. The conversation expands to include complaints about other airlines like Emirates and KLM, with comments discussing the challenges of finding affordable flights and the consequences of choosing budget airlines. Recommendations and shared experiences highlight the importance of checking what's included in budget airline fares.

@Lynnette ******

People always looking for the cheapest way. And then surprised when it doesn't work… kick yourself in the ass 3 times and call it a day

is Oman air cheap ? They won even last year skyracks awards- guess they paid a lot- so there is nothing cheap about this airline but their customer relationship. They are officially a 4 star airline I think. Even airasia behaves better.

@Klaus **********
hard to say... but sometimes people find deals that lure them in. Oman certainly plays poor sibling to Qatar, Emirates and Etihad.

next to Yemen, Oman is the poorest country in the Middle East. As I worked in the Gulf for over a decade, I have used all the airlines and, as with any product or service, you get what you pay for.

no, I and thousands with me didn’t even got this. We payed and tickets were later phased out. No refund , no credits , no product we got against our payment. Thiefs.
Tom *******
@Klaus **********
well in which case I’m sorry to hear that. I heard many airlines screwed their customers before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

@Tom ******
my point would be an airline which don’t care about their customer relationships, dosnt make me comfortable with their management in regards of staff and maintenance, supply management either. Rotten on the surface is not a good sign.

Nothing special about Oman Air. But don’t start me off about AirAsia. 😡

now that we are on that topic tell us your experience..

What's that got to do with their service today exactly? You can say the same with a lot of airlines, including Thai yet lots of people are still flying with them.

@Billy ******
actually, if you were wearing a mask as a pair of underpants, and on a busy rush hour train somewhere, and you farted, but accidently shit your pants, the mask would reduce the spread and the chance of someone close to you getting a face full of your shit. Does that analogy help you understand how masks can help reduce the spread ? You fπcking idiot.
Billy *******
@Dan *******
Masks, moon landings, quackseens and unicorns. You didn't fall for tooth fairy too didya? Conspiracy Denier?
Dan ********
@Billy ******
but they can't ALL be true surely ? 😜
Billy *******
@Dan *******
Conspiracies? Pirates coinspired to commit piracy for ill gotten profit? That's absurd.
Dan ********
@Billy ******
it's just funny that all conspiracy theorists believe all the conspiracies.
Billy *******
@Dan *******
It's just sad all the Conspiracy Deniers deny the existence of all conspiracies. It's like being 8 in a 5 man row boat on frigid water and 1 psychopath convinces 4 to stand up.
Dan ********
@Billy ******
some carry more weight than others, that's for sure. But if the conspiracy theorists are so certain of themselves, why do they just sit here amongst us, and do nothing different.
Billy *******
@Dan *******
We do. We didn't take the quack scenes or tests. And tried to warn our friends and family. And got banned from FB. And we wear wire mesh RF blockers when staying in hotels near transmission towers, tin foil hats ;)
Tom *******
@Billy ******
dude, that ship sailed a long time ago. If this guy is still defending masks and clot shots after two years with all the deaths including myocarditis cases, he certainly isn’t going to change his opinion of it now. Lost cause.
Darren *******
@Robert *********
be my guest, I'm curious how you've come to conclusion that I'm an anti-masker though. Maybe you can share your logic there as I'm intrigued.
Robert **********
@Darren ******
you referred to mask wearing nonsense
Darren *******
@Robert *********
link please
Billy *******
@Darren ******
We all should've boycotted some major corporation in protest of all the mask wearing nonsense. Like FyZer. Put'm right into bankrupcy. Or pick another corporation that's a menace to society, one with more fines and felonies if ya can find one. Oh if Bitcon records were public!
Tom *******
@Billy ******
Bitcoin records are public! You can check every single transaction because it’s in the public domain. Try this one.

So thats two people complaining about emirates and Oman air what airlines next.

Looking at the post you pasted, different sections of ‘economy’ are priced differently on different days. Emirates do not guarantee you can just switch your ticket without paying more. They guarantee there will be no charge just for changing. Re this thread - the author does not explain why they are unhappy with Oman Air, so who knows.
Michael ********
@John ******
i was just commenting that i had approved two posts about airline complaints in twenty minutes. Nothing more
John *******
@Michael *******
Fair enough. Just observing that neither have substance.
Michael ********
@John ******
no just let them have there rant, i like emirates personally flown with them many a time never had a problem.
John *******
@Michael *******
Me too. I like both the airline and DXB airport, and I like that they refunded my ticket within hours when flights were suspended between Dubai and Dammam because of COVID. That was in July last year. Gulfair also refunded, but took their time. Malaysia were also quick.

airasia was really flexible which I found really amazing - Qtar was great all the time flying and being there for their customers.
