Oman Air is a Oneworld partner (as of June 2025) so in theory there should be codeshares at some point, however I actually can't find any on itamatrix for your route so best to call and ask for codeshare availability.
I realise this may be a pain as it introduces an extra stop but you could fly through Doha. (I've just flown through Doha to Bangkok myself all on BA coded flights) so LHR-DOH-MCT-DOH-BKK
Via Qatar is my reserve option but isn’t this backtracking? Would LHR DOH MCT DOH BKK be allowed as a BAH if it visits Doha twice?
I don’t mind skipping the BAH part altogether as we are pretty close to deposit due date anyway, it was more to get the TPs as a holiday and the bonus TPs on BA flight numbers.
I’m aiming for BA gold this year via 4 BAHs all on QR to Asia (two to BKK, one to KUL and one to KTI) plus my usual European trips. I can do it fairly easily via 4 x £3500 holidays (just me) plus the bonus tier points on BA flight numbers.
