To the point
As of today, it is now possible to earn and redeem Flying Blue miles with Oman Air.
Flying Blue Miles and Oman Air
Oman Air was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Muscat(Oman). The airline has some forty aircraft and serves around 40 destinations in 23 countries.
Until recently, Oman Air was linked to Star Alliance and it was possible to book with Aeroplan points. By the way, here’s our report on business class between Muscat and Munich with Oman Air.
Oman Air will soon be joining the oneworld alliance, so it is no longer possible to book with Aeroplan points, and Flying Blue Miles are taking over.
Earn Flying Blue Miles on Oman Air flights
You earn Flying Blue Miles according to the distance and accumulation percentage of the fare class according to the scale below:
| Fare class | Earning – Flying Blue Miles | |
| Economy | E | 10 % |

However, no XP is accumulated on an Oman Air flight, according to the rules of the Flying Blue program.

Bottom Line
There are three ways to earn Flying Blue Miles in Canada so you can use them for travel in the Middle East:
- With the Air France KLM World Elite Mastercard;
- By transferring Marriott Bonvoy points (as with a Marriott BonvoyMD American ExpressMD* Card) into Flying Blue Miles;
- Or thanks to the rapid accumulation of several American Express cards, such as the American Express CobaltMD Card.
For example, you can take an Oman Air getaway to Bangkok, Dubai, Delhi or Istanbul.
