Oman Air Vs QR business

[RooFlyer]

Has anyone flown Oman Air and QR long-haul in business and can give a comparison of the overall experience?

I'm a QR regular but would like to try Oman, but need to be convinced it’s going to be compatible.

Can't say I've flown WY, but on their 787s, they use the same Apex suites as JAL, but note that some flights to MCT out of KUL are on a 737 with recliners so be careful. The lounge in MCT looks pretty good too.

QR's QSuite is a nice product, but it's something of a lottery whether you get them. J on the 787 is pretty squeezy notwithstanding the suite doors. But there's caviar, and their lounges in DOH, SIN and BKK are great.

yes years ago I flew Oman air business regionally and it was awful..

I have flown QR business a lot, so much so that I was willing to look at Omsn just for the hell of it. The old QSuite switch lottery is much less of an issue these days now they’ve got more aircraft after their airbus dispute came to an end.

Oman’s apex suites are fantastic… more like a first class suite. Service was fine, food was ok… on par with a reasonable ME3 offering, but nothing memorable in terms of presentation.

If you want to try something different, give them a go, it’s always fun to try something new.

Drat - Oman don’t serve the Iberian Peninsula which is where I want to depart from to come back home. QR serve both Lisbon and Malaga which are options for me

Have to see just how much I want to try something new.

My travel agent has told me or reminded me that Oman may partner with QR on certain routes. But it would still be a QR flight X Lisbon if that was the case.

My only issue with Oman is the inflight entertainment, way too focused on US stuff, imo.

Music selections not great either, of course, imo.

I like the seats, food offerings, again, imo, good.

It has been a few years since I have flown Qatar, so I can’t really comment on them.
