Hi…According with seatguru Oman Air is flying 787-9 first class to CDG.
I made a quick search on November 2022 and also on March 2023
Do you have any news update about this route?
According to Oman Air’s website, the A330 first class cabins appear to be all refurbished. https://www.omanair.com/gbl/en/our-fleet/airbus-a330-300-v1
Do we have any date on when this is happening? I’ve already got reward flights to Oman this month and back next month, and I’d love to see if I could change for an Oman Air flight.
This partnership (and perhaps another one) should launch before the end of the year.
So could I fly CMB – MCT – BKK in Business for 60k, 65k with a stopover in MCT? It’s under 5k miles but it crosses Atlantic to Pacific twice. Would that work at that price?
A quick check on Aeroplan website currently shows CMB-BAH-BKK routing on Gulf Air for 80k points in business (because that routing is ~5,600 miles). On a different date, it shows routing on CMB-DEL-BKK on Vistara and Air India for 60k miles. Given these, I don’t see any reason why CMB-MCT-BKK should be a problem.
That’s great news. Hoping to do that route in 2023. Just hoping Alaska keep the current reward charts so I can fly to CMB and from BKK from/to YYZ on CX using Alaska points.
