    1. You may need to wait awhile. This is almost identical to a response to my own complaint back last October. Presumably they are still gathering their information to respond conclusively - as I have heard nothing since.

  5. Pathetic - I travelled to Salalah with a cat and it took me four visits to Muscat Airport to find someone who could fill in the paperwork. Six months later, we returned and it took me six visits to Salalah complete with paperwork to convince the staff that the cat had travelled before as they believed that animals could not be transported by plane. Once that was resolved (and it delayed my departure by a week), the baggage people flung the box on the carousel and, once I'd retrieved one very frightened cat, I was quite forcefully stopped by security from going to the baggage area as I was going to 'see' the baggage handler (I'm female). I wrote a complaint and 10 years later, I'm still waiting on a reply. I've never flown Oman Air since and having met their training officer once, I understand the problems of the staff. If you're reading Oman Air - the cat is still alive and healthy no thanks to you.

  7. I'm surprised they didn't tell you to move to Muscat for good :)

    I had a horrible experience once travelling with my wife and kid. We were flying in from the US (on a different carrier) and were supposed to fly Oman Air from London to Muscat. Oman Air, however, cancelled the flight a few weeks in advance and they booked me on Emirates instead. I checked with Emirates and they said that the booking was there but they still needed a voucher from Oman Air. I told Oman Air this and they said they have taken care of everything. Went back and forth at least 4 or 5 times between Oman Air and Emirates until I was reassured by Oman Air that it was all taken care of.

    After my 10 hour flight from the US, I finally got to the Emirates counter in London and they said Oman Air had not given them the voucher! I was FURIOUS! I went to the Oman Air desk and no one was there. An employee from another airline who worked beside them said they would not be coming to work that day.

    Long story short...i ended up having to buy 3 one way tickets from London to Muscat on Emirates at the airport.

    When I got to Oman, Oman Air did not apologize and did not reimburse me. Oh yeah they gave me a paper weight with the Oman Air logo which I felt like throwing back at them.

    This incident happened a few years ago and thanks for giving me the opportunity to vent.

    Kudos to you for calling out the steward's racism as well!

  9. I hope they do reply. Even an 'on hold' response means a step closer IMHO but then I am optimistic by nature. We are all waiting to see the follow up.

  13. This is Oman Air's stock response - complete with inappropriate use of the words 'candid' and 'feedback'.

    OA please note:

    Nadia was not supplying 'feedback', she was making a strong and public 'complaint'. And of course she was 'candid'. There is no call to patronize here. OA are the ones who hide behind obscurity.

    If you are going to pump out standard responses, at least use standard English. Isn't Wayne Pearce English? As Nadia says, if he can't afford a proofreader, couldn't he check this drivel himself. Haha. He does not deign to attend to even the most serious complaints so not surprising he does not think his customers merit a meaningfully worded response.

  16. What, still no answer? There again there's no point in trying to defend the indefensible, is there? Has anybody noticed any improvement? Just wait for the mass exodus at Ramadhan, and then the Eid. I've booked my family through on the Dubai leg of a long journey. Having read all this, I wish I'd stuck with Emirates

  18. OA is indeed a Sad Airline when it comes to the service they offer to their customers. Personally, I have encountered a number of maltreatment from their sad incompetent members of staff but did not bother raising a single complain. For some inexplicable reasons I felt doing so will be waste of time simply because that is their way of conducting business. They are self convinced that they are doing things right for them and ignore what is the right things that will bring satsfaction to their customers. To them what matters most is pecuniary gain on short time basis I guess and forget about the sustainability of their business. They should appreciate people like DG who is kind enough to wake them up before its to late, I mean before they can completely collapse. They must improve the quality of their services for them to survive in business.
