You're videos have been outstanding lately, Dennis. You've taken your channel to another level. Normally a 2-2-2 business class cabin is a deal breaker for me because of the lack of direct aisle access. I really like how Oman has solved the problem while retaining privacy. I definitely would not hesitate to fly Oman.
The food looks very filling. Agreed with picking window seats - do this myself. Why? Because we shouldn't ever forget how special it is to be able to fly.
Agree, Dennis. Wonderful service and food. Very reasonably priced, an added bonus. Had the good fortune to fly Business into Casablanca and out of Paris in 2019. A standout for me was their freshly squeezed orange juice, and why not have a mimosa, or two, for breakfast?! Yum. Off to Istanbul in a week’s time,and return from Paris on SQ Business class. Cannot wait, even if their orange juice is unlikely to hold a candle to Oman’s!
Great video Dennis! I agree that it's a brilliant seat design although I wonder if those more portly passengers may struggle to fit through the gap? Were you buzzing after that many espressos? :-D
Well that's just freaky Dennis. Was just looking at flights to Istanbul. Had the phone in my hand and Oman Air came up the cheapest in BC and your notification came up. Looks good. Thanks for posting. Tossing up between Turkey or Japan for Feb next year.
@@DennisBunnikTravels Yes they sure are. Been to both. Never got to finish our Japan trip. Had to hussle to get home when covid hit and our flight got cancelled. Just so much to see. Pain that work gets in the way lol
I'm an average bloke who travels about five times a year for holidays but can't afford the premium lifestyle. I give up an elevated mortgage, hefty car payments and debt to see the world, spending all my salary on traveling. I think back to the days reading aircraft mags and getting a glimpse of what first class and premium travel was like and the excitment it engendered. That's why I love this channel. It's exciting and spontaneous - how travel should be. Dennis brings that to us.
Hi Dennis, hope you had a good day! As always another great detailed review. You didn’t try any of the wine of this flight. Were you just abstaining on this flight but the watermelon drink did look very good. Thanks so much and Cheers!
Nice review Dennis and interesting you like the layout and for a single flyer I think I prefer the one two one layout like on the Qantas A380 I just flew on last week from LA. I do agree re the footwell and try to get row 11 but on the Omar layout the whole space looks narrow. Oh and look forward to your Malaysian review I use to love them particularly on their A380 but my last flight pre Covid was underwhelming and no alcohol in their KL lounge seemed to reflect the change. Travel safe.
I fly KLM international business class quite often, and the one thing I miss is that feeling of… a special experience, I guess. The middle-eastern operators really GET this.
A great review Dennis. As you know I am a convert to Omanair from my experience last September. Such an underdog. WY is deserving of much more recognition. I'd go out of my way to fly them anyday over the other ME3 who've bigger reputations and dare I say it, ego. Long for the day Omanair launch their own nonstops to Australasia but meanwhile aussies and kiwis, give em a try on your next trip to Europe. Their fares were comparable and their website lists all AU/NZ ports served by MH and the transfers are pretty seemless in KL (2 flights daily KL to MCT) if you just want to connect straight through but KL is an awesome stopover option as is Oman. And the warmth of Omani hospitality is absolutely genuine..
ABSOLUTELY SENSATIONAL VIDEO Dennis! It looked like one sensational flight! Absolutely stunning especially the excellent looking suite with the privacy panel and excellent straight lie flat bed and to top it all off with those incredible window views, wow! 😮 However it is sad the IFE system including the Wifi didn’t work well if at all and I’m sure flying their 787 Dreamliner must’ve been better than the A330 due to the higher humidity and lower cabin pressure it certainly makes sleep better in the 787! Oman Air 🇴🇲 Business Class looks fantastic and I cannot wait to fly them someday maybe we will both fly with Oman Air and in First Class! 😁 Anyways Cheers Mate! 🥂 Caleb’s Aviation
I had not heard of Oman Air and am considering using them on a business class trip to Europe. Your video was the first step in my research, so watched this, and another couple of UA-cam videos which shone a similarly favorable light on Oman. Decided to check TripAdvisor and was surprised to see 12 of the last 17 reviews are scathingly critical one-star reviews.
Very nice review, Dennis. The seating is nice, with lots of privacy, but kind of claustrophobic at the window though. Also, an interesting itinerary on your way back to Adelaide. Thanks, your videos are always relaxing for me!
Thanks Dennis for taking painstaking care in keeping the identities of your fellow passengers and crew anonymous while delivering on the important details
Oman Air has come a long way, I worked for Oman air Catering in early 2000 then flying mostly in Indian Sub Continent with a very basic Menus, but now it seems they have totally over- hauled their services & sectors, keep it up
Dennis, love your video's please keep up the great work. Question if you happen to read this but why do you touch the planes fuselage when boarding? Is it a good luck thing?
Thanks again Dennis for a great review. I took this very flight in 2017 after travelling on Oman Air's 878 from Casablanca. The service and food were some of the best I have ever had in the sky. I also transferred in KL to a Malaysian Airways A330 to Melbourne in business. I look forward to your report.
Great review, DB! I’ve often wondered about the Oman product, as they’re not as widely reviewed as the bigger carriers. Just one silly little thing: I can’t unhear the expression ‘unuser friendly’ when you spoke about the IFE… ‘user unfriendly’? 😊👍
Loved my flights on Oman Air KL-Paris return, even on the older config A330 with 1-2-1. Service wasn't as polished as Emirates or Qatar but still brilliant. Food was delicious and well presented. I'm surprised you didn't get an amenity kit, when I flew at the beginning of April they handed them out on this flight. Price out of Australia being under A$5K was the icing on the cake.
Apex suites are so underrated. I love how it affords so much space for the lower part of your body. I toss when I sleep and I’ve banged my knees a few times turning from my back to side - not so in the Apex suites
Hello dennis ... love your informative you tube reviews. Congratulations ... My husband and I are looking at flying with Oman air from Sydney to Milan april/may 2024 - using TG codeshare on the Syd/Bkk and Bkk/Syd sectors. Would we need to collect our bags and go through immigration at BKK before connecting with the Oman Air flights?
Bangkok to Muscat and now Muscat to Kuala Lumpur. That's like travelling New York to Boston via Los Angeles. You're the second UA-cam reviewer recently to get that seat with the missing window. I do love the length of the beds in that type of seat. The food looked incredible. I have to ask, what brand and model were your glasses?
I used to work in Dubai, 2008-2012 and used Onan Air a number of times, but boy oh boy haven't they come a long way since then. Great video Dennis, my thanks. Many people who had worked in Oman before moving to UAE wanted to go back to Oman, I can understand why!
We flew Oman Business from KL to Paris in February 2020, just as Covid hit the world. Everyone still travelling then and busy as hell. We enjoyed their service and the flight. Unfortunately we were unable to redeem our return journey with them or get a credit once covid came and in 2022 I did contact them and they said no would no give us a trip. Paid a lot of money but so did everyone else back then. Yes I would fly with them again.
I flew Oman from London to Manila on the 787 and wasn't all that impressed. The food was so so and the service fairly indifferent. The lounge at Muscat is excellent though. 👍
I was on an overnight flight from muscat to Kuala Lumpur, no amenities kit and no pajamas, it seems they don't give these out anymore. No breakfast before arriving Kuala Lumpur.
That jibe might be correct right now but won't fly next year when NZ's new business class product comes online. Actually this 'hostel' class is still on Virgin, Air Canada too. Still the Oman Business class seat design has stood the test of time.
After years of being a bit of a joke, especially to their Asian destinations, looks like Oman air have really stepped the game up. That seat looks wider than the majority of business class seats and the legroom was definitely akin to first class on other airlines. Most of all, impressed the food standards have raised so much. If only the European business classes would learn a thing or two…
What is the cheapest business class flights from Asia to say Paris. Flying out of Adelaide on economy class to Asia and then transferring to business class as the prices for business class from Australiato Asia are an absolute rippoff.
Great review Denis. With regards to your comment about why more airlines don’t use this seat layout. Their main market is for business travellers. A lot of the time they are of the more portly sized people. (Myself included) and it can be very uncomfortable getting in and out that tight gap. When travelling like this. It puts a bad memory in your mind and you are less likely to book them again. Especially in a world where Qsuites exist 😂😂. Thanks!
My comments seem to vanish I flew many times from Manchester to Bangkok every 3 months during covid all cancelled they would not give money back office in Manchester closed so went small claims courts. Awards in our favour but still no payment so eventually had send sheriff to Heathrow to get money back . So be aware

Used to love flying with them, but since they aswell as way too many other airlines have raised their business class prices to outragous prices I have ditched them... Over 100% price adjustment up is not worth that airline tbh
Flew Oman business class from London to Bangkok and it was the worst experience in business ever. Seat was broken, and the air stewardess was rude and lazy.

Love these seats. I flew these seats last year on Korean air on my return back to lax from Korea
Great to see an Aussie reviewing flights, we need more of you!

haha - that is freaky. Both Turkey and Japan with be cold in Feb but both are incredible destinations in their own right. Enjoy!
@@DennisBunnikTravels Yes they sure are. Been to both. Never got to finish our Japan trip. Had to hussle to get home when covid hit and our flight got cancelled. Just so much to see. Pain that work gets in the way lol
I would do Japan, love both of your choices but Japan is the best.
@@kaybrisvegas1099 I agree Kay. It's awesome. And their potato salad is to die for lol

Flew with Oman Air DXB-MCT-LHR, absolutely amazing product. Nice to have a review with no drama shouting like others.

Great insight Dennis, will be super to have them into the One World Alliance!
Love that sticker on your laptop ! You are the second person I’ve seen with that on a plane ! LOL. Keep these outstanding videos coming.
It’s always great when it’s Dennis review time. Fantastic to see a different airline from the ME3. How competitive it is from the other ME3 carriers?
Great experience, thanks for sharing, Great seeing you and Mr. Brooks , great team:)
Definitely my favourite seat, followed closely by QSuite. I believe PJs are available on red-eyes, I got them on the KUL route in December.
As a long time subscriber you deserve so many more subscribers!! Thanks for the great review again.
Wow presentation of that meal was very impressive
Thanks Dennis for taking painstaking care in keeping the identities of your fellow passengers and crew anonymous while delivering on the important details

Question if you happen to read this but why do you touch the planes fuselage when boarding? Is it a good luck thing?
Flew Korean Air from Incheon to Mascot around 6 years ago they had the same seating arrangment then, very comfortable in the window seat.
Absolutely fantastic video Dennis!😸
Thank you Dennis for another great review.
Watching all your videos to see which airline has the best beds for my planned trip to Melbourne next year.
Thanks again Dennis for a great review. I took this very flight in 2017 after travelling on Oman Air's 878 from Casablanca. The service and food were some of the best I have ever had in the sky.

Hi Dennis .. as usual a fantastic review..you said that it is the best business class seat in the sky ? .. is it better than the q suite?
Fantastic review Dennis, great start to a week :)
I've heard Oman Air are going to join OneWorld cannot wait to try this amazing looking airline.

Looks nice and I would try given chance. Thanks for up loading

Good video! Why does Dennis stop and touch the plane's fuselage before entering or exiting? To discharge static, or for luck?
Great video. Makes me want to fly.
No amenity kit? Bad thing is the lack of storage. I really like UA Polaris set up as a hard product or Q suite.
Great video as always

Watching from Kenya....really nice....
Upgraded oman air is best ❤
I flew Oman from London to Manila on the 787 and wasn't all that impressed. The food was so so and the service fairly indifferent. The lounge at Muscat is excellent though. 👍
Great airline. My favourite to fly.
Hey Dennis how were the storage options in the 2-2-2 configuration?
We fly only Oman Air when possible. Outstanding airline that offers incredible value and service.
Great video as always.
Hi first i love your vids
I hope that enjoyed enjoyed your trip.
what music do you have playing in the background at the start?
Certainly a fantastic product
convinced il book it tomorrow
Does Oman fly into Australia or partner with Qantas
Dennis is king
How do you compare it to soft n hard QR J class products?
Do you really put Oman's bed ahead of ANA The Room?
I was on an overnight flight from muscat to Kuala Lumpur, no amenities kit and no pajamas, it seems they don't give these out anymore. No breakfast before arriving Kuala Lumpur.
Is there any turbulence that have you faced during your flight?
British Airways/Air New Zealand hostel business class, take note
That jibe might be correct right now but won't fly next year when NZ's new business class product comes online. Actually this 'hostel' class is still on Virgin, Air Canada too. Still the Oman Business class seat design has stood the test of time.
Great airline
Same seat as Gulf Air business clss?
I think you’ve just convinced me to try Oman Air business class to Europe in 2025
Awesome! ❤
After years of being a bit of a joke, especially to their Asian destinations, looks like Oman air have really stepped the game up.

The Amouage fragrance is nice but not nearly the most expensive.
14:13 thanks

Amouage lotions and potions. just what Mrs Bunnik deserves. Don't be a drongo!!!

The seat configuration in business class is the worst configuration
No better than emirates 777 that Total joke
