Oman Air becoming a full oneworld® member in 2025 has been a game changer for Australian travellers, opening up far more opportunities to combine Oman Air with other alliance carriers and build creative itineraries between Australia, Asia, Muscat and Europe.
For Airfare Geeks, the real benefit is flexibility. Oman Air can now work particularly well alongside other oneworld airlines, allowing us to build fares via gateways such as Hong Kong, Japan, Bangkok, Phuket and Kuala Lumpur rather than simply flying Australia – Muscat – Europe and back.
This has also opened up some sensational mixed-class opportunities. Depending on the fare and availability, we can combine Economy or Premium Economy from Australia with Oman Air Business Class through Muscat to Europe, or reverse the combination and enjoy Business Class for the journey home.
As a oneworld member, eligible Oman Air flights can also earn points and status credits with participating alliance frequent flyer programs. Qantas Frequent Flyers can earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on eligible Oman Air flights, while eligible oneworld status holders can enjoy alliance benefits including lounge access, priority check-in and priority boarding.
For Australian travellers, Oman Air has become an incredibly useful oneworld airline. Its Muscat hub, excellent premium cabins and ability to combine with other alliance carriers give us enormous scope to build unusual routings, stopovers and mixed-cabin journeys while keeping an eye on the overall fare.
