Try out this airline next time you want to boost your Qantas Status Credits…
This oneworld member is a highly valuable new option for Qantas Frequent Flyers looking to maximise Status Credits. It’s one of the best-value Business Class offerings on the market to get to Europe and earn points and status credits. So, who is it and how does it work?
Oman Air is the flag carrier of Oman. It's a great option for Australian travellers wanting a comfortable, well-priced Business Class experience with lie-flat seats and smooth connections to Europe and the Middle East.
✅ Add a Stopover - Flexibility is one of the most important factors when it comes to earning additional Qantas Status Credits. Since Oman Air does not fly out of Australia, it’s necessary to do at least two stops on your way to Europe when flying on one of their partner airlines. Typically, you’ll do one stop in Asia, and one in Muscat, giving you the perfect opportunity for a stopover. Think of it as a bonus holiday on the way to your final destination.
✅ Upgrade your Flight - There has been a trend for airlines that have removed First Class to replace it with a Business “Plus” style product. Oman Air has done just that by introducing its ‘Business Studio’ product as a step up from its standard Business product. Consider upgrading your flight to the ‘Business Studio’ suite on select flights. You’ll accrue ‘First’ Status Credits on those segments and enjoy a little extra luxury.
✅ Add QF Domestic Flights - For a small premium and on select routes, add another domestic stopover to earn maybe another 40+ Status Credits per domestic flight.
By leveraging creative routings through Asia, upgrading to Oman Air’s premium Business Studio product, and adding Qantas domestic flights, travellers can significantly boost their Status Credit earn- often at very competitive prices.
For those chasing Gold, or even Platinum status, Oman Air presents a smart, strategic way to climb the Qantas Frequent Flyer ladder while enjoying a premium travel experience.
