Fiona and I traveled on Oman Air B787 Business Studio from Bangkok to Muscat. Is the upgrade to Business Studio worth it? We also visited Oman Air Flight Training Centre and discovered the country.

Oman Air has recently re-branded its 787 First Class as Business Studio. The upgrade cost (BKK to MCT) was $375 from Business Class which allows you to sit in a private cabin, with First Class amenities.

The pilots gave us the flight briefing in the cockpit. After takeoff, the service started promptly. The food and beverages were the same as in Business Class. Omani and Western cuisine was on offer. After the meal, the crew set up our bed with First-Class bedding. At the end of our flight, we gave our verdict about Oman Air Business Studio.

We visited Oman Air flight training center, Captain Nasser showed us around the facility including a mock-up B737 and A330 for evacuation and a pool for ditching, 2 full motion flight simulator, and computer-based training (CBT). We stayed in Oman for 3 nights and visited Wadi Tiwi, Bimmah Sinkhole, and Nizwa Fort.
