Okay, I have the salad with chicken. Certainly. For the summer. Certainly. We had about 30 minutes delayed because there were missing passenger, so they have to offload their baggage. It’s really tough, it’s really difficult, I was watching them through the window, working under 45 degrees heat in the summer in the Middle East, it’s tough.

I gotta tell you, just 40 minutes flying on a Dreamliner, the pleasure is immense. You know, it makes a huge difference if you’re flying on a narrow body compared to wider body, it just gives you a lot of space, just a lot of pleasure, personally to me. Just got my third towel service on this 40 minute flight, at boarding they gave a cold towel, and after takeoff they gave a hot towel, and now before landing, they give another hot towel. 40 minutes flying, we just landed in Muscat.

But my favourite is this little oasis, a private oasis here. They have these beautiful sleeping pods here, privacy, total privacy room. And they also give you first class amenity, first class pyjamas.
So I recommend you to come to spend 3-4 hours in this lounge, Bye. Thank you, sir. Bye. Have a nice flight. Hello. Hello sir, welcome aboard. Hello, welcome on board. That’s your boarding pass?

I chose the large size for you, is this okay for you? – Yeah, thank you. Thank you so much. In the toilet going for a change of pyjama. There you go! Changed to the Omani Air pyjama on board. One thing is pretty easy on this pyjama is all you do is zip up instead of actually flip over your head and it’s easier to wear. This is pretty amazing, champagne and caviar at 40,000 feet in your private suite on Oman Air. Would you like to have some chilled vodka with your caviar? Wow, this is huge! Very cool. When they brought this out I was thinking “is this really food or this is art?” Presentation is amazing. Cheers. Well, I think their show plate is so beautiful, I wanna show you the plate here, it is actually resembling the mountain in Oman because there’s lots and lots of mountains like Jebel Akhdar, Jebel Shams. Well that’s all I’m gonna eat because flying first class is almost like an eating feast. You get to eat in the lounge, you get to eat on board, I came from Dubai, I was already in the lounge, had a breakfast and then I had bit of nibbles on board, and then in the lounge in Muscat I have, you know the prawn machboos, and now, I’m just gonna have a light caviar and I’m gonna have a dessert. So that was it, I can’t eat any more, it’s just unlimited food here. So after a big meal, of course this is time for a nap. There’s only two passenger in first class today, so it’s very lucky we have eight suites, so the flight attendants set up my bed on the suite next to me so I can keep this one as my lounging, office, TV lounger and then the next one to sleep. Talk about first class, Oman Air has two Dreamliner with first class pods arranged like this. They’re primarily serving London twice a day. This is like having your own private suite, double suite together to enjoy by one person. Mr Sam, do you want to have some selection of tea? Let’s have a look. Do you know what this one is? This is the Bali tea. Green mint tea. Green mint tea. Yeah, I’d like to have some green mint tea, thank you very much. Well, I didn’t sleep because I think it’s a day flight, it’s a bit hard to sleep.
So I lay flat for about an hour or so. Your scallop, scallop with the prawns. Enjoy You have a lot of pepper inside here. Yes. I want to know, does Oman people love pepper? That’s why you have such a big pepper shaker. Omani people, we love spicy, that’s why. Oh, Omani people like spicy. – Yes. I was feeling emotional during my second meal watching The Greatest Showman. What an amazing voice. Sharin, you look very exotic, I couldn’t guess where you come from. I’m from Iran. From Iran? Yes. Yes. From Shiraz? Yes, my city name is Shiraz. Oh my gosh, Shiraz lady, very pretty. Thank you. That’s famous in the world. A lot of viewers are inspired to work in the airline industry, they want to become a cabin crew like you just have been. So what advice you will give them? Flexible, it’s super active, I love this job. Flexible and super active. – Yes. Thank you so much (speaks Iranian). This is the log book for the junior fliers to get more more points for these frequent fliers Wow, look at this. joining us in Dubai. It’s like a passport, it looks like a passport. Wow, it’s amazing. So we do this stamp here You stamp here. Yes, and then the captain Wow. Has to sign down there, Amazing. So it’s always captain’s signature needs to be there. That’s really amazing, – Yes! I need one of these! The captain said the weather in London, 37 degrees Celsius. We are just flying into quite a bit of cloud, I think it’s thunderstorm building up, so we’re actually circling before getting permission to land into London. Yeah, another great flight, nothing went wrong, really good flight as it should in first class. Approaching minimums. – Thank you.
