Oman Air great fly them all the time. You only have 1 hour wait in Muscat before the next flight. 5.30 hrs from muscat to Bangkok.
David ********
If you like a break to stretch your legs and breath normal air, then Oman is a good option. I've done their route twice and it's have no qualms booking them again.
If you prefer to do the long haul and get it over with, I'd say EVA is definitely the better option at the moment

Eva Air is fantastic

Oman Air 👌 it's nice to have a little stop half way, have a break and stretch your legs. 11 or 12 hours or whatever is, is a long time to be sat on the same plane 😩

Ian ********
Choose Evaair good carriers
Brett **********
If you want direct them Eva. If you prefer the journey broken a bit then Oman are very good and you can get lounge access with showers for not much money. If you've got the time maybe even do a day in Muscat on an extended layover if you can
Ashley ********
Thai Airways has 2 direct flights . 11:50am arriving in bkk around 6amish and also a 21:25 arriving at approx 3pm.

Why would you transit somewhere else first?

@Marc *******
I'm flying with Singapore, the reason I'm transitting somewhere else first is because Singapore Airlines are far superior to Thai...

Thai if you go direct . There’s a lot of Thai bashing and it will never stop. Thai airways is a fine carrier. Had a great flight at the end of May and will fly again in mid October

Eva air everytime, never any problems with them at all..

EVA Air. Excellent carrier.
Ray ********
Eva is really good just flew them last week but v limited movies if that’s a dealbreaker

i fly every month back and forth to Europe from Thailand. To keep costs down look at KLM. Eva is great. Thai airways was in 2019 one of the best but is not anymore

When did you last fly Thsi ? 10 years ago ?Karim ***************
@Dana ******
have you ever flown EVA?
Jim ********
Eva direct still a good bet. Had a few issues with delays of a hour and a bit on my last 2 flights, but other than that all good.
Brandon ************
Are you sure the EVA flight isn't just a codeshare on Thai airways. It's generally illegal for airlines to have flights between 2 countries that they aren't based in and EVA is in Taiwan.
Keith ******
@Brandon ***********
Eva Air flys from Taiwan to London Heathrow via Bangkok & return with a crew change @ Bangkok before the same plane continues the journey.Definitely not a codeshare & both airlines use their own liveried aircraft.
Eva Air are a far better service than Thai Airways, I’ve flown both airlines many times but will always choose Eva Air when possible.
Brandon ************
@Keith *****
if it's an option I'd definitely take EVA after the Thai airways bankruptcy debacle and then screwing over so many peopleKarim ***************
@Keith *****
completely agree. EVA are the best direct airline between London and Bangkok. Glad they resumed flights.
Mma *******
All are good. Personally I'd go direct with Thai Airway FWIW.
Karim ***************
@Mma ******
prefer EVA direct to Thai airways.
John **********
EVA ___IMHO. Economy Plus pretty good
