Hopefully some of you get lucky that yours are not found or that they won't do anything with the ticket - I remembered some airlines did send out such emails, but people could still fly as they did not cancel the ticket.
Cheers!
Agree that it would be lovely for Oman to honor the fare but with the seat fee at €0 the airline only has the fuel surcharge to hang onto to service the costs of the seats sold. It also depends on how many seats were sold, and potential loss of income verses selling them for sensible commercial terms. If it was a few 10s of flyertalkers they might have stomached it, but with the blogs having advertised this its probably the number of seats and scale of potential loss that influenced their decision.
