Oman Air, the national airline of Oman, continues to facilitate travel for football fans to this year’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The airline will operate 48 “match day shuttle” flights between Muscat and Doha from Nov. 21 to Dec. 3. It offers wide-body service, including the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, between Muscat and Doha. Passengers on shuttle flights will enjoy Oman Air’s award-winning products and services, both in the air and on the ground, and its signature Omani hospitality.
Return match day shuttle flights can be booked on the Oman Air website with prices starting from 49 Omani rials ($127) for economy class and 155 Omani rials for business class. Fares include fees, taxes, airport charges, and hand baggage allowance.
Passengers are advised to arrive in Doha at least four hours before the start of a match due to the high frequency of flights each day. In addition, all passengers must register for a Hayya card (fan ID) prior to their flight, as this is required for travel on all match day shuttle flights and for entry into Qatar.
Throughout the tournament, football fans can book their match day shuttle flights, which provide a smooth and comfortable 24-hour experience between Muscat and Doha. The service is intended to seamlessly connect fans to Qatar so that they can attend their respective matches. A no-check-in baggage policy also allows passengers to plan an easy-in, easy-out travel itinerary.
Football fans to the region can also visit Muscat to experience thrilling adventures, breathtaking natural beauty, and genuine Omani hospitality through a variety of stopover packages available from Oman Air Holidays. Whether stopping for a few hours, overnight or several days, Oman has something to appeal to every traveler’s itinerary.
Guests departing Oman should ensure that they are aware of all terms, conditions and pre-departure requirements for their flights.
