Hi all, we’re heading to Thailand on March 28 via Oman Air with a 4-hour stopover in Muscat, returning the same route around April 11.
I know the security situation in the Gulf is tense, and I’ve read all the official advisories and news. But what I’m really looking for is first-hand accounts from people who have actually been through Muscat airport in the last week or so:
∙ What’s the vibe at the airport? Is it functioning normally or does it feel like crisis mode?
∙ Were long-haul flights (especially to/from Bangkok) running on time?
∙ Anything unusual during the flight – different routing, turbulence from rerouting, announcements from the cockpit about the situation?
∙ How was rebooking/communication from Oman Air if anything went wrong?
∙ Would you do it again, or would you choose an alternative route in hindsight?
Oman Air tickets are already booked. Trying to make a smart decision here rather than panicking.
Any recent experience appreciated – especially from Europeans who transited MCT to/from Southeast Asia.
thank you
