I think it's deeply immoral and reprehensible that so many companies outsource customer service to other countries AND then hide behind those cheap call centre staff to take customer anger and claim they are company representatives when they're just working for a subcontractor WHILE the responsible decision maker or any of their direct line staff will never answer to one single customer by design of the system. It leaves individuals, families, or staff of customer businesses absolutely fuming - this when dealing with a large range of aloof international corporations these days.

Flew Oman Air from Dar es salaam (DAR) to london (LHR). Im surprised by this review as I would definitely fly Oman Air again. Standard flight, food on the second leg was very good, and Muscat airport is very well done. Seat pitch was descent. Ground staff at DAR were really helpful in getting seats together since it was a full flight.

You have a lot more patience than I. I think I would have given them a window of time for a refund before requesting a credit card charge back or have used any travel insurance purchased for the trip to get my money. There are zero excuses for the airline to withhold a refund for longer than 45 days unless they are having serious cash flow issues.

I have a pre COVID credit with Qantas' LCC Jetstar. Apparently I have until the end of 2023 to use it or it will be cancelled. No question of a refund apparently. I'm doubtful about flying anywhere with Jetstar now because post COVID they have repeatedly stranded passengers in Bali, Honolulu and other places. I could end up spending more than the credit is worth to get a ticket to return home on another airline.

I flew Muscat LHR recently on Oman and the service was pathetically slow. Food trays were lying on table for so long maybe an hour, that a good chunk of pax decided to dispose it themselves and get on with it. At the same time, on all 4 of my flights on Oman, air conditioning was switched off when the flight was on ground! So suffocating! Muscat Airport is great but Oman Air, not so much. Edit - meal was great though

Thanks Josh for your comprehensive review. I have flown with Oman Air four times in Business class and I have found them to be excellent. The food was some of the best I have had in the sky and the service was outstanding. I would fly with them again. It sometimes the crew on the day that makes a difference, I recently flew Japan Airlines business and found their service to be excellent but I found the food disappointing, I also found the hard product lacking, no cameras, bad navigation map and entertainment . I expected better. The aircraft was a 787-8 so there is no excuse.

I waited for a year and 8 months oto get my refund from Etihad, my flight was April of 2020 during the pandemic. Etihad was refunding passengers who bought their ticket from European countries within a months time. I am from the Philippines, did they discriminate us because we are Asians? Our travel agent had to threaten them by giving them a letter from our lawyer. It was after that they they refunded our business class ticket, we were 8 passengers.

Used Oman Air once on a two leg flight from Europe to southeast Asia and it was an eye-opening experience. In the sense that afterwards I knew I would never ever fly Oman Air again. First leg from Europe to Oman my seat had a bunch of weird brown smear stains everywhere, even on the IFE. The toilet clogged during the flight. The crew was slow and aloof. Ground Crew in Muscat is just plain rude. Second Leg to Asia my seats IFE didn't work at all. Toilet was clogged AGAIN halfway through the flight. Crew was still slow and had just no interest in their customers at all. Never Again.

Mashallah, I was a Freq Flyer with Oman Air for a short time and it was so bad I left and became a high-level Freq Flyer with Etihad instead. Was so, so much better. A bonus was my parents moved from Al Ain to Abu Dhabi, so Etihad was better for me from Australia to Abu Dhabi. The product on Etihad in J and F cabin is so much nicer than Emirates ( which is mediocre and dated, like at the time it was really 6 abrest in J on the A380 and B777, wtf! thankfully it's now a standard 4 abreast, emirates was a forerunner in the 90s, but took a dive in the late 2000's ) In any case, I give SQ my money now as they are by far one of the best and most consistent carriers I've travelled on in the last decade. Fantastic staff, great lounges at T3 in Singapore, especially 'The Private Room' and ive always felt taken care of, and that it was worth the money.

I worked for a call center that supports a global automobile company, one of the most well-known. I was stuck between the customer and the company. What that customer service agent said, as you say, is the standard response to such inquiries. That job was the worst I've ever had. Refunds were only done when legal action was threatened. Even then, it would take another sixth months. The agent and likely his supervisor has no power to make it happen. Additionally, promise that you will take it public and how you will do it. You are doing a public service.

If WY or any crew needs to find if Josh is on their flight they should scan only on last 2 rows of any class cabin. 😊😊

We flew with Oman Air in 2017. The 34in seat pitch was great, but the IFE and food were poor. Wouldn't fly with them again, especially as they no longer have an attractive seat pitch.

I'm really surprised to read about this and also your second negative review of WY because they're my go-to airline whenever I travel from KHI-LHR as they have the best J class fares and I also like the fact that MCT airport is not like DXB or IST where you have to walk miles and miles from gate to gate, its fairly quick and easy to make your connecting flight. However in all the years I have flown with WY I only had one bad experience when my flight from KHI-MCT was slightly delayed and while I made it in time to the gate to board the LHR flight, they didn't allow me to board as they said my bags would not be able to be transferred to the LHR flight on time so they would put me on BA departing early morning (it was 1:45am at this point) and I should go and sit in the J class lounge (I was in J class) till the departure time of my BA flight and after a while they brought my BA boarding pass from MCT-LHR and assured me I was in J class but by the time I boarded the old BA 772 I discovered I was in World Traveler Plus (Premium Y) so I mentioned this to the BA crew and they told me that this has happened before with WY and they were unable to put me in J and I would have to sort it out with WY later. After several emails with the WY customer service where I expected some form of compensation for the downgrade they gave me, the maximum they offered me was 45 Euros which I declined. Subsequent discussions with them regarding a review of the amount of compensation offered (I even suggested air miles as I was a Sindbad Silver member too) was met by dead silence and no replies or further communication from their end which ended up being a huge disappointment for me as I never expected them to deal with a J class customer and Silver FF member in such a lackluster and indifferent manner.

Great video as always Josh, if I was you I’d get a charge back from your bank. I had to do this with a certain low cost Irish airline. Just tell the bank you have spent 2 years with multiple attempts to get a refund and they will simply take the money back from them

Flew Omanair last month from Kuala Lumpur to London via Muscat. And back from Zurich to KL. Absolutely zero issues with Omanair flights, planes or crew. Food was good and arrived hot. The mostly Omani crew in economy were friendly and attentive. Was able to upgrade meals to J class fare for a modest fee out of Muscat. Meal was served on individual porcelain dishes and the main, fish 'machboush' dish (sp.?), was both moist and delicious. Would happily fly WY again! As I would Malaysia, another airline you have problems with. With regards changing your flight to Dubai, yes, there are indeed regular shuttle flights but your bags were already checked through on the late flight. So bags already secured in transit (a sterile area); noting your bags must travel on same flight unless delayed due to airline. And as for your flight credit? Omanair is not the only non EU carrier that did this during the pandemic. I have (had) useless credits with Qantas (arguably 'criminal' too but definitely deceptive when tried to redeem/get refund Credit note when entered increased the quoted fare by hundreds of dollars, negating the credit). Virgin Australia ("tough luck, suck it up mate". VA went into bankruptcy protection. Then relaunched. Flight credits = unsecured creditor = dead money), Thai (ditto, tough luck, dead money too). So there's three airlines I won't touch with a barge pole. Pretty sure you'll get your funds from WY but you should've gone first to your credit card company to request a charge back - which I tried w/ 33% success e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y (Qantas). No good in bankruptcy though, join the queue!. Pretty standard when goods or services paid for not received.

Hi Josh, Hope you get your money back soon. Very unfortunate that Oman Air has done this to the passengers. I had booked Emirates from SIN to JFK during the covid season nefore it broke out. They did reimburse the amount as soon as all flights were cancelled,. I didn't have to even make a request. They initiated and paid back without any delay. Waiting for your flight details to Israel. Take care.

Thanks, was looking to book a business class trip Europe to Asia for my parents and they came up as good price working with SAS. Next step was to look for warnings signals from guys like you and I guess this classify as a heavy warning signal and I will look for a different airline. So thanks for the video!

Instead of making fun of someone or trolling, let’s be broad minded. Just a reminder my frnd his wiki says “ AIRLINE CRITC / FLIGHT REVIEWER “. Giving second chance to an airline is not getting scam ! I believe it’s fair & wise decision to give them second chance ( in order to change ). Don’t you think it’s kind of his job ?

Josh, I know how you feel regarding a delayed refund. I had to wait over 610 days for my business class refunds for my wife and myself from Garuda Airlines due to the pandemic of no flying. I hope you don't have to wait much longer for yours. Cheers
