Oman Air is like a chic boutique hotel: oozing with class that only a select few gets to appreciate and keep for themselves. I hope they can maintain the quality of their amenities and service when more people discover this airline.
Me too! On one hand, I want to see them expand so I have more opportunities to fly them. On the other hand, "please don't change a thing!" Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Yeah, as a US person with most of my flying to Europe and Latin America if I was ever in the region I will seek them out. It looks a World away from the hustle and bustle of Doha and Dubai plus get top service on a shorter leg to South Asia and South East Asia with awesome awards.
In a world where flight reviews are a dime a dozen (especially the unbiased ones LOL)... you manage to stand out and keep my attention with great presentation of details that matter.. "down to earth flight review" sounds weird, right? keep up the good work
Have been a viewer of this channel for quite a while now & I have to just give credit to the amount of detail and effort gone into presenting, editing the videos. And of course, the honest unbiased review based on what was experienced on that particular flight itself. Bravo.
Very much appreciate your kind words. The details are the most time consuming (editing) part, but they are also the most fulfilling part to know (in my opinion), so they'll always have a place in my videos. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I cant believe you spent the time to count the number of movies in every language and also looked up the market value of every wine offered! Thank you so much for providing us with so much detail!!
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!!
Recently Started viewing your videos. Generally I watch Non Stop Dan, But I just love you attention to detail. You show every single part of the experience each flights offer. :)
My husband and I travelled business with Oman Air in May and July 2023 Sydney to London and return (Sydney to Bangkok was with Thai) and also received the same kit and pyjamas, it was beautiful with the Amouge products. We had an amazing experience as it was our first time flying business class. Also very reasonable price, we noticed on one leg of our flight that First class was empty. Great video, thank you.
I did this flight in November 2022 too! I had a 12 hour layover so stayed at the Aerotel next door to the lounge which was comfortable. Although I did have to call reception to ask them to turn off the jazz music playing in the corridors at 5am! Had a good few hours in the lounge, service was excellent, maybe I’d polished off the Cristal before your visit, apologies.
What a fantastic review in all respects. Clearly many Omani VIPs fly to London and Bangkok to justify the added cache of first class. Your videos contrast with many of your American colleagues in your detailed knowledge , beautiful photography and digital overlays. Most importantly your narration is detailed, casual in delivery and you know when to be silent and let the images do all the talking. Great viewing pleasure. Many thanks.
I flew Oman Air last year from Delhi to Muscat in business after watching your terrific video about them - and I thought it was one of the best business class experiences I've ever had - superb food and service, very good wines. And I loved Oman. Next year I do plan to try their First from BKK to MCT, but I expect I might end up agreeing with you that it isn't much of an upgrade. Thanks for your videos, which are always measured and informative.
Am thankful to watch this shared review vid of yours. I am from Manila Philippines, and flew Business Class since our Morocco trip Turkey , France, Italy.. now, the time for U.K. trip and while doing some research, this vid will help me a lot. never experience First Class. 4 to 4.5 windows is way better than 3 to 3.5. My travel partner is 6ft. , and big consideration for us having business class is for health reasons.
That amenity kit used to be offered in business class. I 🩵 Oman Air. I want admired the flavour of the dates offered. And one of the staff gave me a full box. Very discreetly as I exited the plane as a gift and winked at me.
I have flown Oman Air business class four times and on each and every flight I was never disappointed with the service given. I personally think there should only be business class. There is no real need for first business is so very special. Each time I flew threw Muscat on my way to and from Europe. I only wish there were direct flights from Melbourne, Australia.
Really enjoy the content, especially the variety (hotel vs airplane). I also like the fact the videos are published in order of how the trip unfolded. Great job, keep it up, and I look forward to your upcoming content!!
Another ...err...first class review. I also love Jeb Brooks videos and their similar humorous, and often self-deprecating, comments. He chooses to appear, and you don't. Both work well. This is a great and useful review; more subscribers please!
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.
I had a strong feeling that First wasn't going to be able to replicate the sublime supremeness of your business class flight. Really enjoying the analytical presentation of all your reviews. Hope you will reach 50K subscribers this year & on to ten times that many, you really deserve it. Oman seems to want to capture some of the market share that would in the past have chosen Emirates, Etihad or Qatar First. Makes you wonder, if they will make some changes in the future (hopefully not to downgrade biz). Being parked next to a Gulf Air flight (don't think you'll be picking them again soon) at the end was a rather tongue in cheek moment.
I may have briefly mentioned my experience on Gulf Air to the purser on this flight (just about the flight experience, not about me creating content) and we shared a laugh when he saw who was parked next to us haha. Thanks very much for your kind words and thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Beautiful review, love how understated and classy their first class product is. Not gaudy or over the top. But I agree, knowing how good their business class is, I’m not sure whether I would pay the difference (if I would ever be in a position to even consider it 🙈). Thank you as always Kevin, almost 30.000 subs! 💎
Yes, it was great to experience but I'm just to in love with their Business Class offering to pay this any mind. Feels ridiculous to say that about a First Class product haha. Thank you as always for the support 🙏🏻
Wow! Thank you for this very detailed review. Now I am considering flying Oman Air soon. I hope you’ll do reviews on Royal Air Maroc business class too in their 787-9 as the reviews in yt are very limited. Looking forward to your future flights and reviews. Thank you for taking us with you 🥰😊
I'd love to review RAM, but I reckon there are so few reviews because their connectivity just isn't the greatest. They're always on my mind though! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
You're very daring for partaking in so much of the lounge and spa experience with only 1.5 hours in your layover XD All things considered, Oman Air First Class looks to be an outstanding product! Shame I probably won't ever fly it because the routes they offer at the moment just don't fit with where I am and where I'd like to go for holidays.
Everyone I was in contact with at the lounge (except the massage therapist, perhaps) was very in tune with MY scheduling lol so I was quite comfortable just being told what to do, which as a control freak- was quite pleasant haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
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!
Hello Kevin. Another great review of an airline I am slightly familiar with. I agree with you regarding First Class offerings on certain airlines. The only time I have flown something similar to First Class is when my spouse and I flew to Glasgow, Scotland in 2017 with Air Transat's Club Class. For what we paid (just over $4K CDN return), it was not worth the cost. The seats were uncomfortable (leather) so much so that I kept feeling like I was going to slide off them onto the floor. The food was passable. The only good thing was having a dedicated check-in line at our originating airport (Toronto Pearson), extra luggage allowance, and being able to board the aircraft first. I can plainly say that was the first and last time I will do that. Keep up the good work!
I have never ever seen a TH-camr read all his comments when he has 100+, a part of this incredible review you are the person who deserves to get likes and subs, last thing how did you find Oman do you think I should put it in my list for must to visit?
Fully agree with your comments between Oman Air not being able to totally differentiate between their first and business class products. First class choice of red wines appears to be poor and capping the WiFi data as they have is a really bad commercial decision. Overall looks superb.
Love your trip reports and you're absolutely right. There should be a distinguishing factor between first class and business. Which I think should be said from a prem economy and economy. Looking forward to your next trip videos!
14:0014:2219:04 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?
That lounge was incredible! I would have skipped the massage. Amazing that you are alone in that space. Amazing suite. Your meal looks amazing. Wine list is impressive. Caviar looks delicious as does the rest. Of the food. Too bad about the tomato sauce. The crew sounds wonderful. The bathroom looked lovely. The bed looked comfy if short. Lovely experience.
Kevin… what can I say other than you nailed it!! Super Business class hard to even match their own FC product. I felt the same gratitude twice in my life one FC on Varig 1989 and AF Concorde 1987. An Amazing feeling indeed. It was quite classy to mention Jeff from greengrass, good guy but I rather watch your sandal’s than his watch collection 😎😎😎. Since your remark about the hotel in Ibiza that reminded you a Condo in TPA, I am always keen at your humorous touch in every video. Thank You for a marvelous review and humor touch. Stay Safe - Keep them coming It’s the content in TH-cam by far
Ahhh the Concorde will always be my one that "got away"... very much look forward to whatever comes on the supersonic market in the future. Thanks as always for the support 🙏🏻
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.
I loved the video and the background appropriate music - I’ve travelled in this myself and can attest to the joy in having the cabin to yourself but a little disappointed in not being able to ask other guests how was their experience - weird I know 😀
I really enjoyed this flight with you, but I have to say, I preferred the business class experience. So much better to have four options of which window to look out of in business, than just the stingy three in first class doncha think?. Fab video, looking forward to our next flight. 😁
Great review, Kevin. Thank you for all the effort you put into that. Soon airlines will start recognizing you (or your flip-flops) and will offer to "collaborate" 😉 A few questions: - in the beginning of latest reviews you show a phrase (in Arabic, Thai, etc.) What does it say? - you said you compare J to J and F to F which is fair. You gave Oman 93/100. Who will do better? EY apartments? New SQ? New EK? - how do you deal with jetlag with so much flying? Thank you
1. It will welcome the local audience and let them know subtitles are available in the local language. 2. We shall have to wait to see who does better 🙂 I only reveal specific Airlines/routes/classes 2 months in advance on Patreon. 3. Three parts: drink enough water during the flight until you’re ready to burst; use a solar lamp every morning (when traveling and when home) to regulate circadian rhythm; as long as you’re doing the first two, don’t try to trick yourself into sleeping or staying awake, just do what feels natural. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Your review of EVA is spot-on with my experience. Great airline, I’ve flew with them many years in all class. Prior to their becoming Star Alliance members, they offered very competitive fare. Ever since then, their fare have increased quite a bit, probably due to price pressure by it’s airline partners/members such as SQ, etc. I think Starlux could possibly compete well in the regional and transpacific routes.
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!
My small backpack fit in under the bench with a few seconds of rearranging. For larger bags the crew will store it in a designated storage locker. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I believe you meant that these seats take the same space as 12 seats, I heard 6 seats. I looove the video and congrats on the channels first first class flight. I hope you get to fly many many more.
Awesome! But yes, the biz product seems to be the better offering. Is the seat the same as Etihads'? Aeroplan is so great! Hope you get some more first class flights in for this year :)
It's very similar to Etihad's, certainly by dimensions if nothing else. I think the actual product is the same as the new ones Thai recently introduced on a few of their new 777s. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Another great video, but I've gotta say I find the comments section quite perplexing. Some spammy, illogical, critical comments, often from accounts which seem to interact with each other a lot. Probably bots or fake accounts? Bizarre, but don't pay any attention to them anyway Kevin - keep doing your thing, I'm really enjoying your videos and going off your rising subscriber count, it looks like I'm not the only one.
Yes, I agree the comments have strolled into crazy town today lol. Not to worry though, even bizarre comments help a video with the algorithm 😅 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Many first class airlines don't provide fast internet or with more duration they are limited because it is broadcasted from satellites which is expensive.
That’s just not the case anymore. Many airlines provide unlimited Wi-Fi and/or high speed Wi-Fi on board. If they invest in the equipment they can certainly offer the same. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
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 :)
Will you visit Pakistan this year or next year?We have a few new airlines starting up here since 2017 and a few more coming next year. Another thing I want to suggest you is,if you can do train and bus travel videos/reviews,that would be great and cruise ships as well. New subscriber because your editing looks cool...I also watch Jeb Brooks,Non Stop Dan,Sam Chui,Noel Phillips,Josh Cahill and Trek Trendy. Good luck.
Cruise videos will be coming soon (in the first Quarter of this year), I have three of them lined up. For train and bus journeys they're just not that prolific in the part of the world where I have most of my content planned for 2023, but very open to doing some in the future. Pakistan is also on my list but likely won't be until 2024. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft You're welcome.I meant to say you should consider them for the future.Train travel in Europe in common and its pretty amazing too.Bus journeys are interesting as well. Pakistan has a lot to offer,so I hope you go there soon as well. Good luck and keep it up once again.
@@tfft 😁 thanks for reassurance and I agree with You: such a beautiful business class is almost "a pity" 😅. I plan to travel to Japan one year from now (good helath permitting😇) and for now (I am in Italy) I would"select" Qatar airways (QSuite).... do U have some advices? It is a pity that Oman does not serve directly Japan... making two stopovers (from Milan: first Muscat and then I guess Bangkok) is too much for me for first time travelling so far eastward... 😅
Content creation is a business- and like any other business, it requires investment. As they say, you have to spend money to make money. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Hey Flip Flop, Did you know that Xiamen Airlines has a First Class? But only on their 787-8 variant. Might be worth a video. So far, no one has done it. Not even Jangsu Aviation.
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.
I don't get this First Class experience it's not exactly Emirates or Singapore Airlines. it's a "fancier" business class to me. Enjoyed the review. Expensive wines are wasted on me as well, so l can relate to your choices 👍
Well, it looked like a bit larger business class seat, but not really a Suite. MHO only. Worth 5000 €?? But surely a unique experience to travel alone in a big department like that. For (Wealthy) People with Big Ego can be a thrill too to their self image, to be in a cabin with no one else around. The short flight time from Muscat to London eas also bit suprising 👍
@@tfft U a wellcome. I bit doubt that you won't either would pay 5000 dollars in cash for one way ticket from muscat to London. Or would You, for 20 min lousy back massage bonus plus few extra glass of champagne? The Biz Class ticket is half the price and better value for money.
Faintly of the sea. I think of it more as a seasoning than a food (probably because I live in Vietnam where Fish Sauce is a seasoning, not a "sauce"...) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Just sharing a thought- usually content creator who show their faces get more views. You might wish to show your face once you reach one million subscribers ( suggestion only)
It might happen far in the future but not for the next few years, as I believe the anonymity is necessary to have a true honest experience in a hotel or on a flight. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
If and when they decide to fly to north America, hopefully it'll be with this type of 787. 🤞 maybe by that point they'll decide to have premium economy too 🤔
people who say that Qatar Air is the best definitely didn't flew with Oman air, beacuse man they do deliver hpe that after this video more and more people will try to fly with them
so does a retired man like me get all these marvellous flights as you do? i dont have 100000 points ,it would take 20 plus years to get those points flying at prices i cannot afford, who are you selling this dream to?
I'm selling it to whoever clicks the button 😉 And for the record, 100k points in no way means you must spend that much to earn them. Some credit cards give that just as a sign up bonus. Still perhaps not for everyone, but 'playing the points game' is certainly not the same as paying for First Class cash tickets lol. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Oman Air is like a chic boutique hotel: oozing with class that only a select few gets to appreciate and keep for themselves.
I hope they can maintain the quality of their amenities and service when more people discover this airline.
Me too! On one hand, I want to see them expand so I have more opportunities to fly them. On the other hand, "please don't change a thing!" Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Yeah, as a US person with most of my flying to Europe and Latin America if I was ever in the region I will seek them out. It looks a World away from the hustle and bustle of Doha and Dubai plus get top service on a shorter leg to South Asia and South East Asia with awesome awards.
In a world where flight reviews are a dime a dozen (especially the unbiased ones LOL)... you manage to stand out and keep my attention with great presentation of details that matter.. "down to earth flight review" sounds weird, right? keep up the good work
"Down to Earth (First Class) Flight Reviews has a funny ring to it haha. Appreciate the kind words though, thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Rather, I can’t believe no other content creators have every looked up the wine prices. Haha
I haven't flown first class with Oman but I absolutely love their business class. The apex suites have so much space. Totally underrated
Yupp, have a review of that on the channel as well 😉
Jeb Brooks is great and another airline reviewer I admire, what a cool shoutout! I hope he sees this video!
I’d be totally okay with that too 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Kevin is in another level
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!!
Always love to have industry subscribers! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I fly often Zurich Bangkok and Oman Air is one of the finest airlines in the air especially in business class.
I agree! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

If you take the social out of the social media... you just have boring old out of touch media 😉
Fully agree with your comments between Oman Air not being able to totally differentiate between their first and business class products. First class choice of red wines appears to be poor and capping the WiFi data as they have is a really bad commercial decision. Overall looks superb.
Fully agree (especially about the wifi...) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

Headphones and bedding are not to be removed, generally everything else is for the taking. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
thoroughly enjoyed this and last video as i was born in london the last segment particuarly enjoyable and reminiscent thankyou lee.
Was such a beautiful night to fly over the city! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great review. We are now booking them from Bangkok to Frankfurt return. Thanks Kevin!
Enjoy your trip 🗺️
That lounge was incredible! I would have skipped the massage. Amazing that you are alone in that space. Amazing suite.
Your meal looks amazing. Wine list is impressive. Caviar looks delicious as does the rest. Of the food. Too bad about the tomato sauce. The crew sounds wonderful. The bathroom looked lovely. The bed looked comfy if short. Lovely experience.
It was a fantastic experience! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great video Kevin! What a good product from Oman Air. I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Very nice report. I really enjoy your honesty and in-depth report. Thanks again. Btw you have a great voice for these vlogs.

Kevin… what can I say other than you nailed it!!
Super Business class hard to even match their own FC product.
I felt the same gratitude twice in my life one FC on Varig 1989 and AF Concorde 1987. An Amazing feeling indeed. It was quite classy to mention Jeff from greengrass, good guy but I rather watch your sandal’s than his watch collection 😎😎😎. Since your remark about the hotel in Ibiza that reminded you a Condo in TPA, I am always keen at your humorous touch in every video.
Thank You for a marvelous review and humor touch.
Stay Safe - Keep them coming
It’s the content in TH-cam by far
Ahhh the Concorde will always be my one that "got away"... very much look forward to whatever comes on the supersonic market in the future. Thanks as always for the support 🙏🏻
"Oman need to rethink their whipped cream presentation"
You have a great ideal for detail.
Thanks!
What a GREAT video I really enjoyed it, well done!!!!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
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.
Great to know! If only I could tag on an SQ leg from FRA-JFK it would be a perfect itinerary! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I loved the video and the background appropriate music - I’ve travelled in this myself and can attest to the joy in having the cabin to yourself but a little disappointed in not being able to ask other guests how was their experience - weird I know 😀
To each their own 😂 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great review. Thoroughly enjoyed
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
have travlled oman air business class, loved it to bits and pieces. Hopefully will travel first class next time from London to Muscat.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Have you experienced it already? If yes then how was it?
@@athix2 amazing is the word.
I really enjoyed this flight with you, but I have to say, I preferred the business class experience. So much better to have four options of which window to look out of in business, than just the stingy three in first class doncha think?. Fab video, looking forward to our next flight. 😁
Haha yes that extra window does make a big difference! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great review, Kevin. Thank you for all the effort you put into that. Soon airlines will start recognizing you (or your flip-flops) and will offer to "collaborate" 😉
A few questions:
- in the beginning of latest reviews you show a phrase (in Arabic, Thai, etc.) What does it say?
- you said you compare J to J and F to F which is fair. You gave Oman 93/100. Who will do better? EY apartments? New SQ? New EK?
- how do you deal with jetlag with so much flying?
Thank you
1. It will welcome the local audience and let them know subtitles are available in the local language.
2. We shall have to wait to see who does better 🙂 I only reveal specific Airlines/routes/classes 2 months in advance on Patreon.
3. Three parts: drink enough water during the flight until you’re ready to burst; use a solar lamp every morning (when traveling and when home) to regulate circadian rhythm; as long as you’re doing the first two, don’t try to trick yourself into sleeping or staying awake, just do what feels natural.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Your review of EVA is spot-on with my experience. Great airline, I’ve flew with them many years in all class. Prior to their becoming Star Alliance members, they offered very competitive fare. Ever since then, their fare have increased quite a bit, probably due to price pressure by it’s airline partners/members such as SQ, etc. I think Starlux could possibly compete well in the regional and transpacific routes.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
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!
All of my graphics are created in Keynote. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Your video let me know a ‘new’ airline and surprisingly it is a pretty good one！Thanks，may consider taking oman air in the future！
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
What a great experience. That LHR approach was gorgeous. Curious, where did you store your hand luggage since there weren't any overhead bins?
My small backpack fit in under the bench with a few seconds of rearranging. For larger bags the crew will store it in a designated storage locker. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I believe you meant that these seats take the same space as 12 seats, I heard 6 seats. I looove the video and congrats on the channels first first class flight. I hope you get to fly many many more.
You heard correctly. These suites take up the space of 6 Business Class Seats PLUS 26 Economy Seats. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great intelligent video, I see the Taj is coming soon, woohoo 👍🏻👏🏻
It certainly is! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Awesome! But yes, the biz product seems to be the better offering. Is the seat the same as Etihads'? Aeroplan is so great! Hope you get some more first class flights in for this year :)
It's very similar to Etihad's, certainly by dimensions if nothing else. I think the actual product is the same as the new ones Thai recently introduced on a few of their new 777s. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Another quality video!!!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
OMG THE BED 😍
Thanks for watching 🩴
Another great video, but I've gotta say I find the comments section quite perplexing. Some spammy, illogical, critical comments, often from accounts which seem to interact with each other a lot. Probably bots or fake accounts? Bizarre, but don't pay any attention to them anyway Kevin - keep doing your thing, I'm really enjoying your videos and going off your rising subscriber count, it looks like I'm not the only one.
Yes, I agree the comments have strolled into crazy town today lol. Not to worry though, even bizarre comments help a video with the algorithm 😅 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Many first class airlines don't provide fast internet or with more duration they are limited because it is broadcasted from satellites which is expensive.
That’s just not the case anymore. Many airlines provide unlimited Wi-Fi and/or high speed Wi-Fi on board. If they invest in the equipment they can certainly offer the same. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Nice review again. 1 subject is always unmentioned in reviews of premium sets: luggage allowances!
It's always mentioned in my descriptions though (under fare inclusions) ☺️ Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
We should keep the business class as good as it is, thank you.
Thanks for watching 🩴
That's a nice Indian classical in the background
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Very well done great review keep going
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great review! How about reviewing Royal Jordanian?
Booked for later this year 😊 Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft Oh interesting! What route?
I don’t release exact flights before I take them to ensure I can be 100% anonymous on board.
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 :)
I have many (many) videos from Bali & Jakarta already on the channel and have a flight with GA coming up soon. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
with the 25% promo oman air is now running , first is ONLY a lousy 5000 usd going from muscat to lhr =)
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Will you visit Pakistan this year or next year?We have a few new airlines starting up here since 2017 and a few more coming next year.
Another thing I want to suggest you is,if you can do train and bus travel videos/reviews,that would be great and cruise ships as well.
New subscriber because your editing looks cool...I also watch Jeb Brooks,Non Stop Dan,Sam Chui,Noel Phillips,Josh Cahill and Trek Trendy.
Good luck.
Cruise videos will be coming soon (in the first Quarter of this year), I have three of them lined up. For train and bus journeys they're just not that prolific in the part of the world where I have most of my content planned for 2023, but very open to doing some in the future. Pakistan is also on my list but likely won't be until 2024. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft You're welcome.I meant to say you should consider them for the future.Train travel in Europe in common and its pretty amazing too.Bus journeys are interesting as well.
Pakistan has a lot to offer,so I hope you go there soon as well.
Good luck and keep it up once again.
Can you please show how much it costs for the price without points. Just so we can see the difference.
It’s literally in the thumbnail 😉
Nice video and a (maybe) stupid question: but do U need to pay for wine or the price is just to give a reference?
The price is just for reference to give an idea of the value (of the ticket) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻 (and there are no stupid questions haha).
@@tfft 😁 thanks for reassurance and I agree with You: such a beautiful business class is almost "a pity" 😅.
I plan to travel to Japan one year from now (good helath permitting😇) and for now (I am in Italy)
I would"select" Qatar airways (QSuite).... do U have some advices? It is a pity that Oman does not serve directly Japan... making two stopovers (from Milan: first Muscat and then I guess Bangkok) is too much for me for first time travelling so far eastward... 😅
amazing soundtrack what is it?
Too long ago lol
Hi Mr. Filp-Flop I’m hoping that you will try their economy class next time 😊
Perhaps :) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks so much
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Yes the buisness class is good ,I used 1 and I like the private cabin.

How do you obtain Air Canada Aeroplan points without flying with Air Canada. Could you buy them with cash?
Accumulate by flying other Star Alliance carriers, transfer from multiple Credit Card partners, Aeroplan Chase Card, Credit Card sign up bonuses…
@@tfft Thanks Kevin
Thanks
Now also KUL have first class (A330)
Ah yes, sorry I was referring to the new First Class product. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
How do you manage to pay for these monthly business class and first class flights if not sponsored? 😅
Content creation is a business- and like any other business, it requires investment. As they say, you have to spend money to make money. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thanks!
Thanks for the support 🙏🏻
Hey Flip Flop,
Did you know that Xiamen Airlines has a First Class?
But only on their 787-8 variant.
Might be worth a video.
So far, no one has done it.
Not even Jangsu Aviation.
I did know it, but I'm going to give 2023 to China to get their act together with reopening and then they'll see me in 2024 ☺️ Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I flew it. And not gonna lie it was bette than BA, AF and KLM 1 Class
Well KLM doesn't have first class :)
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.
Perhaps! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I would have expected a high-quality Bordeaux (or Italian/Californian) to the supermarket reds they served in First Class.
Win some and lose some, I suppose. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
I don't get this First Class experience it's not exactly Emirates or Singapore Airlines. it's a "fancier" business class to me. Enjoyed the review. Expensive wines are wasted on me as well, so l can relate to your choices 👍
Compared to their own Business Class I would agree!
Well, it looked like a bit larger business class seat, but not really a Suite. MHO only. Worth 5000 €?? But surely a unique experience to travel alone in a big department like that. For (Wealthy) People with Big Ego can be a thrill too to their self image, to be in a cabin with no one else around. The short flight time from Muscat to London eas also bit suprising 👍
I reckon those with that big of an ego would need to let it spill out on their private plane haha. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft U a wellcome. I bit doubt that you won't either would pay 5000 dollars in cash for one way ticket from muscat to London. Or would You, for 20 min lousy back massage bonus plus few extra glass of champagne? The Biz Class ticket is half the price and better value for money.
Where are you from country
US. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
So, for those of us in the lower-class proletariat, how might you describe what caviar tastes like? 😉
Faintly of the sea. I think of it more as a seasoning than a food (probably because I live in Vietnam where Fish Sauce is a seasoning, not a "sauce"...) Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Just sharing a thought- usually content creator who show their faces get more views. You might wish to show your face once you reach one million subscribers ( suggestion only)
It might happen far in the future but not for the next few years, as I believe the anonymity is necessary to have a true honest experience in a hotel or on a flight. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
If and when they decide to fly to north America, hopefully it'll be with this type of 787. 🤞 maybe by that point they'll decide to have premium economy too 🤔
I reckon they'd do quite well with e JFK service! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
good
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

people who say that Qatar Air is the best definitely didn't flew with Oman air, beacuse man they do deliver
hpe that after this video more and more people will try to fly with them
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
so does a retired man like me get all these marvellous flights as you do? i dont have 100000 points ,it would take 20 plus years to get those points flying at prices i cannot afford, who are you selling this dream to?
I'm selling it to whoever clicks the button 😉 And for the record, 100k points in no way means you must spend that much to earn them. Some credit cards give that just as a sign up bonus. Still perhaps not for everyone, but 'playing the points game' is certainly not the same as paying for First Class cash tickets lol. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
