Key differences

  • Oman Air opens online check-in earlier (2 days before departure vs 24 h).
  • SalamAir lets you check in online closer to departure (15 min vs 1 h 30 min).
  • SalamAir is a low-cost carrier: expect a cheaper base fare with bags, seats and airport check-in sold separately, while Oman Air bundles more into the ticket.
  • Oman Air is a oneworld member, so miles and status benefits carry over to partner airlines.

Allowances shown are for the basic Economy fare on most routes. Fees are the lowest published prices and change often - confirm on the official websites before booking.
