Oman Air may not be as well known as some of its Middle Eastern competitors, but it was just crowned the region's leading airline for both business class and economy by the World Travel Awards.
As the Arab country is a destination increasingly on the radar of travellers looking for a unique adventure, we decided to find out what it's like to fly on the airline.
From Arabic coffee served from opulent-looking pots to new private first class suites, the offering looks fairly luxurious - and with an expansion programme in place, the airline is set to operate up to 70 aircraft to around 60 destinations by 2022.
Scroll on for a sneak peek inside some of the cabins of Oman Air's growing fleet.
Oman Air, a lesser-known carrier than some of its Middle Eastern competitors, was just crowned the region's leading airline for both business class and economy by the World Travel Awards.
It comes at a time when the Arab country is becoming an increasingly popular destination for travellers looking for a unique adventure.
The airline began operating at the new passenger terminal at Muscat International Airport in March, and it looks pretty fancy, complete with giant indoor palm trees.
The airline has just revealed a new first class private suite on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner which features a fully flat bed and an electrically controlled privacy divider.
According to the airline's website, it will receive the first of three 787-9 Dreamliners on order in June, two of which will have the new first class product with eight fully private mini suites.
Inside, it's pretty spacious. The suite features a 22-inch flat screen, cocktail table, USB, and power outlets, among other functions.
The airline's award-winning business class looks pretty roomy, too.
The airline offers both modern and traditional fine dining and Arabic signature dishes in its premium class cabins. First class passengers also have the option to request specially designed meals online in advance.
Here's a look at the interior of the economy cabin on the Boeing 737 MAX.
In addition to the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, Oman Air serves a number of European cities, including London, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Munich, and Zurich.
Premium passengers who fly Oman are invited to use the Cathay Pacific lounge at Paris CDG airport, pictured above.
The airline is currently implementing a fleet and network expansion programme, which will see it operate up to 70 aircraft to around 60 destinations by 2022.
