Passengers travelling with Oman Air can now avail a 30 per cent discount on multiple Business Class or Economy Class flights between the Omani capital of Muscat and destinations across the GCC through the newly launched Oman Air Rahal ticket option.

Oman Air Rahal allows customers to book four return flights to any one of the named destinations, with only the first flight being confirmed at time of purchase. The timing of the remaining flights can then be decided at the customer’s leisure, but all flights must be taken within 12 months of purchase.

The lowest-priced Economy Class Oman Air Rahal ticket costs just OR123 ($318.4) per person for eight flight segments between Muscat and Dubai, originating in Oman, or Dh1,232 ($335.3) for flights originating in Dubai. Business Class tickets cost OR496 ($1,284) for flights originating in Oman, or Dh4,508 ($1,227) for flights originating in Dubai. Customers can therefore save as much as OR53 ($137.2) or Dh528 ($143.7) in Economy Class, and OR212 ($548.8) or Dh1,932 ($525) in Business Class.

And savings on flights to other destinations can be as much as OR212 ($548.8) for Economy Class services to Doha, and OR678 ($1,755) for Business Class services to Riyadh. Fares and savings quoted are for the total number of segments. Fares include all fuel surcharges, but do not include government or airport taxes.

Mahfood Al Harthy, chief officer sales for Oman Air, said: “We are delighted to launch our new Oman Air Rahal multi-segment ticket option. It offers outstanding savings of up to 30 per cent for regular travellers in both Economy Class and Business Class. And it covers a wide range of exciting destinations throughout the GCC region, as well as services to Tehran.”

“Furthermore, members of Oman Air’s Sindbad frequent flyers programme are able to accrue Sindbad Miles on all the flights they take using an Oman Air Rahal ticket, and can redeem them against flights at a later date,” he said.

Oman Air Rahal is available until November 30 and covers GCC destinations including Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Doha, Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat, Riyadh and Tehran.

Oman Air Rahal offers full flexibility on date changes at no charge. A fee of OR 10 will be charged to customers who do not fly on a service they have booked through Oman Air Rahal. Refunds and destination changes are not permitted and Rahal tickets are non-endorsable and non-transferable, the company said in a statement. – TradeArabia News Service
