I came across Oman Air's webside while searching for flights to Muscat. It seems they spend lots of $$$$$ on new aircraft, destinations and luxury onboard service.
Did some of you fly already the 'new' Oman Air? It would be great to know the offerings of it's new C and F Class, before booking!

Looks like a great product... it took me a while to work out what the heck was going on in the first class cabin - they say they have only six seats... the double seat unit that occupies the main picture (fleet-->first class mini suite) is actually a lounge. You can just see behind the lounge what the double seat unit looks like.
So they have a 1+lounge+1 configuration in the first row, and a 1+2+1 configuration in the second.
Although one wonders why they need a lounge for just six passengers? (And how long before they convert it to another double paying seat?).
Business class looks great for an A330 with 1+2+1 and full lie flats.
Even eco class looks good!
makes a change from the rather old A310 I've seen a number of times at BKK.
