Oman Air Now Bookable with Air France KLM Flying Blue

Oman Air Now Bookable with Air France KLM Flying Blue

Just days after it was announced that Oman Air would become a full oneworld member later this year, the Muscat-based airline is back in the news, albeit in conjunction with airlines in a different alliance this time around.

As of June 6, 2024, you can earn and redeem Air France KLM Flying Blue miles with Oman Air, and with this development, Flying Blue has added another airline to its growing roster of partners.

Air France KLM Flying Blue Adds Oman Air as New Partner

This week, it became possible to earn and redeem Air France KLM Flying Blue miles with Oman Air.

While there hasn’t been an official press release sent out, information about earning Flying Blue miles on Oman Air flights has been published on the Flying Blue website, and Oman Air flights have also been loaded into the Flying Blue search engine.

When it comes to earning Flying Blue miles on Oman Air flights, you can now earn up to 275% in miles of the actual distance flown. The full breakdown of the Oman Air earning scheme is as follows:

Oman Air is based in Muscat, and operates a modest number of routes primarily across the Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent, as well as to a handful of cities across South East Asia and Europe.

The airline has been going through some changes in 2024, as it retired some of its aging A330 fleet, cut service to some destinations, and implemented seasonal operations to other cities.

Most importantly, it was recently confirmed that Oman Air will join oneworld as a full member later this year, which makes this announcement even more interesting.

On some routes, Oman Air offers an excellent business class experience, both when it comes to a hard and soft product.

Redeeming Flying Blue Miles for Oman Air

With this new partnership, it’s now possible to redeem Flying Blue miles for flights with Oman Air.

Recall that Air France KLM doesn’t publish an award chart for flights with partner airlines, which means that you’ll have to manually look up redemption costs depending on which route you’d like to book.

Looking at some short-haul flights out of Muscat, we see the following sample pricing:

  • Muscat–Delhi: 15,500 miles plus $81 (CAD) in economy, or 34,500 miles plus $161 (CAD) in business class
  • Muscat–Amman: 16,000 miles plus $188 (CAD) in economy, or 34,400 miles plus $268 (CAD) in business class
