 |
|
Hi all
I'm having to start thinking about the summer trip home and I am very curious about Oman Air. I arrived here on a Lufthansa flight and was disappointed not to have flown with one of the Gulf airlines. This summer, I am thinking (and hoping) to fly with Oman Air. I really like the idea of supporting the national airline but also, I expect it will be a better experience than any I've had on a western airline.
Anyone who has flown internationally with them, I would greatly appreciate your comments here about your experience. |

| I've flown on Oman Air, but the flight was short and was neither great nor lousy. For reviews on just about every world airline, try Skytrax, http://www.airlinequality.com/ |

| The quality of an airline is directly related to the degree of dictatorial rule in the country it is from. The best airlines are from the most oppressive regimes. |

Bull.
Two of the world's most oppressive regimes in China and Russia are responsible for appalling (still existing) state airlines. The Chinese wouldn't even announce a crash unless a foreigner was involved, although probably different these days.
I doubt I'd ever get on an African plane, unless desperate.
I used Qatar airlines recently and it was a perfect example of 'don't believe the advert'. OK, the girls were pretty but nothing else was. |

I've flown on it internationally and it was fine. Internally it's a bit of a let down. Yes, I've experienced the no ac on the domestic flight; they told me it was because they'd just started the engine! Oh Dear!
Don't believe all the adverts you read about these airlines. If you're travelling in Business or First class then it might be much better, otherwise I think they are all the same.  |

So, Saudia is better than Emirates and Air Koryo beats them all?
And which of KLM, Lufthansa, British Airways or Finnair ranks first then?
And Qantas, as the Aussies are so laid back, must be the worst of all.</ | |
