In any case, thanks for the heads up. I missed the last sale, knew it'd be wise to hold out, and being able to fly ex-MUC rather than MXP makes a change for me!
WY just lost over $300 millions USD last year, ouch! They are trying to minimize loss, WY is important to Omani economy, in spite of loss, it helped generating almost $2 billion of the country's GDP (think about what the airlines did to other parts of economy). You can put bonus/award miles onto EY.

Product was great, will do again as long as it's under 1200EUR. Why? Because that's the max you need to pay nowadays with all these Middle Eastern Airlines throwing deals at you every few weeks!
I just flew MCT-CAN, it's doing better than other new Asian routes. If they can get to JNB, PEK, NRT, ICN and HKG as announced earlier, yields will improve.
