The airline says that the suites in the newly delivered Dreamliner’s First Class section have “one of the longest 180-degree flat-bed seats available on any commercial airliner” and that the aircraft will offer “the latest in comfort and amenities, including cutting-edge entertainment”.
Passenger seats in all three classes are equipped with Thales in-flight entertainment systems featuring an “immersive cinematic interface design” and content “exclusively curated” for visitors to Oman, the airline says.

I traveled to Seattle as a guest of Oman Air and witnessed the delivery ceremony held at Boeing Everett Delivery Center on 27 June, 2018.
After the ceremony, the ferry flight took place from Paine Field nonstop to Muscat, which took 15.5 hours.
The new Oman Air tri-class B787-9 will enter service between Muscat and London Heathrow from 01 July on flight WY101/102.
Currently, there are good Business and First Class fares from Cairo to London via Muscat. Check it out!
