My Overall Experience
The Oman Air First & Business Lounge is very elegant and comfortable. When I visited with my daughter Alexandra, it was quite busy. An outdoor access area allows for tarmac views. The food was rather standard, which was a bit disappointing as I had higher expectations for the quality. Nonetheless, it remains a very decent lounge to relax in before a flight.
