Hi there. I'm a TV producer/director and I think this is easily the most TV-like travel review channel out there. Most guys/gals want to make it about themselves but you make it about the trip - as it should be. You have mastered the art of editing 'b footage' with main shots and a very well-written script. Well done sir! Keep it up.

​@@skyyyy787B-roll is secondary footage that is used to fill in and give context to what is being said. When you watch a video and the person is talking to the camera thays a-roll. When you suddenly see a clip of something else while the voice of the person is still there in the background that's B-roll.

The Sultanate of Oman is a country rich of kindhearted and welcoming people. The understatement seen in Oman Air's Apex product resonates the very same Omani values. Being born in Muscat, I can truly understand why aviation enthusiasts love Oman Air's product & service! You would love to visit the Alila, Anantara, Sixth Senses properties Oman has to offer! Sorry but nostalgia caught me with your impressive review of the flight! Looking forward for WY's flagship route in first class Kevin!

They used to give pretty comprehensive amenity kit before Covid, wrapped in nice fake leather pouch. I think I still have 1 or 2 unwrapped still. If you take an overnight flight, they give PJs as well. Oman air, Muscat Airport, along their lounge, has always been one of my best experience (maybe just topped by Singapore Air).

Took the exact same flight but in the reverse MCT-BKK instead last Nov (+ in First class). Easily the best flight I've ever been on (made even better thanks to the amazing Oman lounge in Muscat + the fact that I was the only passenger in the whole cabin!). They also provided a superb Amouage amenity kit on that flight (even got one in Oman Business CDG-MCT) and a great pajama set with excellent slippers. All-in-all, I'm not sure there's much (anything?) that will ever top that experience for me! P.S. Great video, made me nostalgic!

Thanks for great review. I flew Oman Air four times in business class in 2019. I would have to agree with you on your assessment. From Casablanca to Muscat I had the best prawns I have ever had, not just in an aircraft but the best ever. All the food was good but the prawns went to another level. Along with Turkish airlines Oman have had the best food on any airline I have flown. Great service and good wine what else do you want. In 2019 I flew four times with Oman air and on each leg I got a high quality amenity kit. The business class lounge in Muscat is pretty good as well.

Sadly, I've never flown Oman before. However, as a Bangkokian Priority Pass cardholder, I get to enjoy the Oman Air lounge at Suvarnabhumi. It's my most visited and easily my favourite Bangkok lounge especially given that Champagne is included! Yup, not kidding! Considering that a sizable number of Priority Pass lounges all over the world would charge you extra per glass of Prosecco, let alone Champagne, this alone makes this lounge worth it in spite of its smaller size and limited hot food offerings. Fantastic review by the way!

I was just curious about your review process since you wrote out the script 6 weeks later and plus with the amount of traveling you do, how do you keep everything straight and so detail oriented and specific? Really more than any reviewer, I'm just imagining you scribbling down meticulous notes in between shots during the flight 😆

Thanks very much! It's hard to describe this without it coming off as neglectful lol- but I find the videos turn out a lot better and are actually more accurate if I focus on the lasting impressions instead of the knee jerk reactions and responses I have in the moment- good or bad. When I score and review, I'm trying to look at it all through the eyes of who I imagine the 'average potential customer' would be. The video clips (I generally way over film) plus the history lessons I put myself through generally spit out a good balance of detail. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I'll be honest, I'm actually a bit claustrophobic and was genuinely worried about flying in APEX suites the first time I ever did it- but they really (really) are not as 'enclosed' as some people portray them to be. Of course it's my own perception but as someone who doesn't like closed spaces (ironic career, I know lol) I gotta assume if it's open enough for me, it would be open enough for most. I think many people see the layout and assume it's going to be similar to BA's old Club World seats- which it's lightyears ahead of. Thanks as always for the support and hope you're feeling better soon!

I have upcoming travel in Class I and had to make the hard decision between EY, SQ and WY for my travels, due to A/C types, I opted for EY 388 & 789 and SQ 781 and 388 for my return. With the only reason for not choosing WY being the second leg of my journey which would be operated by their 737-MAX cabin in a 2-2-2 config without direct aisle access. I wonder what you would have chosen!

Been flying that route 2x now 2019 & 2022 and further to Germany from Muscat in Business class. Very enjoyable flights. Seats are indeed fantastic and so is the airport. Food & Service in our opinion was good but a little unpolished on all legs on both occasions. Wine service is kind of filling the glass to the rim...not complaining but not quite right. Sometimes we felt they made up with quantity while missing the last bit of quality. Never had an issue, always punctual and yet to loose any luggage. Overall so far for us too one if not the Best experience we had.

Hello Kevin, I just got back from Bangkok and thought it would be useful to share my feedback with you and your viewers. I took two Oman Air biz flights earlier this year and four other legs in biz last week. Like with many other airlines, my experience really depended on the cabin crew in charge of my section. I was traveling with my wife so it was interesting to see how other cabin crew members performed. Usually, she is unlucky and I would say this was the case this time again. Based on our experience in the past, I wonder if certain cabin crew treat guests differently. Gender and age may play a role. Let's quickly mention the things I liked during our flights with Oman Air to give a fair representation: Apex suits are great. The old business seats on their a330 are spacious and I would argue they are even more comfortable though you have much less privacy. They look old and outdated which was not really a problem for me. I like the Amanity kid and products from Amouage though I have to point out that it is not a French brand. Dining on board is a la card and you can theoretically chose when you wanna have your meal. I found cabin crew sometimes to be a bit sneaky. I have the feeling some crew members wanna get over with the meal service as quickly as possible and then hang out in the galley. They don't even give you the option of eating later. Lastly, I like the connecting experience at Muscat airport. It's a relatively small airport with short walks to and from the lounge. Fast track security at this airport worked well too what I cannot say from other airports unfortunately. Often times you are quicker with the normal lane because families with children get to use the 'fast' track too. Food on board was excellent except for the cheese which (like with most other airlines) is low quality. I think that's a good example for cost cutting. The Oman Air lounge is really nice. Now to the not so pleasant things. I found it shocking (especially 2 days after the Japan Airlines A350 crash at Haneda) to have a passenger right next to me sleeping in lie flat position while all her window blinds were closed UNTIL block on at the gate. When I have a bit more time I will probably report this incident to EASA or the German Luftfahrt Bundesamt because this is not acceptable. While you can still get an excellent service in their business class, like with most other airlines, there is no real consistency. If you are unlucky, the cabin crew might forget your orders and then not apologize for the oversight or even lie to you. My wife tried to put the seat into the lie flat position, without success, and asked the crew member whether the 160 degree angle was normal. His response was yes without admitting that the seat was broken. Besides, very low motivation which is the problem most of the time with cabin crew (and probably employees in any other industry) who does not deliver. To put this into a percentage, I would say 60 to 70 percent of the time the service was very good. Having said that, if I hadn't witnessed the cabin crews disregard for safety, I would have recommended Oman Air biz class to people how are looking for an above average biz class experience. I certainly no longer hold the opinion that Oman Air provides one of the best business class experiences and I wonder if it is still worth all the money. Flying coach with fewer expectations looks increasingly appealing to me.

Good video! Judging by your videos, it seems like you are on the road non-stop for month at a time. What do you do when you get to the destination besides enjoy the lounge, the hotel or food? Any chance of a behind the scene video, like a day in the live of a travel vlogger, with all the work that goes into making the videos including the trip planning (it can't all be glizz and glamour).

@@tfft I'm JFK/LGA based and I have oneworld Emerald status with British Airways. Considering the amount of premium cabin flying you do, you could easily qualify every year. I really value the lounge access and free seat selection when flying domestically with AA and AS. Plus the international first class lounges on my few international trips.

Singapore and Vistara (same system) simply for the interactive kids version of the map and the ability to get facts about any city- small or large- you’re flying over on the adults map. Otherwise, as long as it’s possible to manipulate the map and there aren’t interruptive ads or PSAs through (👀 Qatar), I’m a fan.

Great vid interesting. More this year. Now this was very informative as far as traveling in first or overseas BUSSINESS class. Long haul. But your next flight can you do a walk thur of the whole plane if possible.. look economy seats suck mostly. The new phase is the airline's coach extra or some fancy name but looks better then standard coach on long haul flights.. air new Zealand 🇳🇿 was rated number 1 in economy plus I think. But there flights are all long hauls..next vid can you change the music to soft jazz or hotel type piano lounge music.. a good song for taxing and night take off is the shadow of your smile. Instrumental version. Your grade today is ........ A ... post more soon please.

I wish the review was on economy class as I can't afford to travel Business. Great information though. Great attention to detail. ps....even though this review is not on economy I do like the color palate of the plane. And it is possible that the service in economy is just as good. Oman is a very stable country even though it is near Yemen where the population is starving.
