Muscat: Oman Air’s World Cup flights are a boon for football fans. Oman Air has prepared shuttle service at a low rate for those going to Qatar to watch the World Cup. Because of this, many football lovers from foreign countries are going to Qatar via Oman. Many other facilities are also provided for such people. Ticket prices from Oman are also relatively low. Oman Air charges 49 riyals for normal class. Due to this, the congestion at the airport has also increased.
Oman Air’s World Cup desk is located outside the entrance gate of Muscat International Airport. The establishment of a special World Cup check-in counter and a special immigration counter at the airport has made the journey more comfortable. Fans of some countries gather at the airport to create a celebratory atmosphere. On Saturday, the fans of the Argentina team reached the airport with great enthusiasm. They arrived wearing team jerseys with shouts and slogans and caught the attention of all the passengers. The World Cup package has also provided vehicle facilities from the hotels to take the passengers to and from the airport.
With Oman Air offering the lowest World Cup ticket prices, football fans are traveling through Oman even from the UAE. There are some football fans in the UAE who arrive in Muscat by car and stop near their friends’ residences and go to see the World Cup via Oman Air. Such people return to Oman by taking a vehicle.
