You can now earn Qantas Points, Status Credits on Oman Air

Qantas frequent flyers can now earn Qantas Points and Status Credits on Oman Air, building on the existing ability to book seats on the Gulf carrier using Qantas Points along with status-based perks such as Oman Air lounge access.

Yes, this has been a long time coming: booking Oman Air reward seats with Qantas Points has been in place since October 2024, while Oman Air joined the Oneworld alliance at the end of June 2025.

“Qantas Frequent Flyers already have access to tens of thousands of reward seats across the Oman Air network, and we’ve seen strong demand from members since launching our partnership last year,” notes Kate Sherwood, Head of Qantas Airline Loyalty & Partnerships.

“Now, with the opportunity for members to earn Qantas Points and Status Credits, travel with Oman Air across Asia, Europe and the Middle East will be even more rewarding.”

From Oman Air’s side, of course, members of its Sindbad rewards program can in turn earn Sindbad Miles and Tier Credits when flying with Qantas.

Oman Air's 787 business class can now be booked using Qantas Points.

Where you can fly with Oman Air

Although Oman Air doesn’t fly to Australia, its network includes the following connecting destinations around Asia:

• Bangalore (Qantas)
• Bangkok (Qantas, Jetstar)
• Delhi (Qantas)
• Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia Airlines)
• Manila (Qantas)
• Jakarta (Qantas)
• Phuket (Jetstar)

Most of those cities are a relatively short hop to Muscat – you’re looking at around 6-7 hours from Asia and under four hours from India, with the longest route being a nine-hour stretch from Manila.

From Muscat, Oman Air flies to popular European destinations including London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Istanbul, Munich, Milan, Rome and Zurich, most of which are 7-8 hours away (Istanbul is the exception, at a zippy 5h30m).

Of course, this means any trip to Europe with Oman Air involves two stops and three flights, compared to the usual one-stop option of flying with Qantas, Emirates, Cathay Pacific or JAL, for example.

But if you’ve got the time – or are willing to make the time –  why not treat the journey as part of your trip?

Instead of just changing planes at Muscat, spend a few days there. You’ll discover a city teeming with fascinating history, wonderful food and memorable experiences, as well as being far more ‘authentic’ than the likes of Dubai. 

The spacious Business Studio suites will be bookable using Qantas Points from early 2025.
