Flights to Muscat

You can fly from London to Muscat International Airport via Doha with our oneworld® partner, Qatar Airways, in under 10 hours.

Autumn through to early spring is the most popular time to visit Muscat, so book flights mid-spring to summer if you want to pay less for your flights but enjoy beach weather and rose-blooming season.

With a little forward planning, you can make your trip to Muscat fit any budget. Eating at local cafes, small family-run restaurants and souks will save you money. If you visit during the autumn through to early spring, you can enjoy spending time outdoors exploring the limestone peaks of the Hajar Mountains and the cliff-top villages in Jebel Akhdar. There are lots of affordable options in the city too – admission to the Al Alam Palace is free, and the Royal Opera House is worth walking past to marvel at its impressive architecture.

Once you touch down in Muscat International Airport there are plenty of ways to get to the city centre. Catch a bus down the Sultan Qaboos Highway or hop in a taxi at the airport. Alternatively, you can explore the coastal city of Seeb, where the airport is located, and visit the Amouage Perfumery before heading downtown.

You can book a hand baggage-only ticket or make the most of our generous baggage allowance. If you choose economy standard or one of our British Airways Holidays’ packages, each passenger can check in a bag weighing up to 23kg – in addition to a handbag, laptop case or other small bag. Families travelling in any cabin with younger children can also check in one car seat and one fully collapsible pushchair. Read more about baggage allowances for children.

If you’re flying in our business cabin, you can check in two bags weighing up to 32kg each. Read our baggage guide for full details.

If you travel to Oman with a valid British passport and stay for less than 90 days, a visa is not required. For more visa information, visit the IATA Travel Centre.

Oman’s capital offers an authentic taste of life in the Arabian Peninsula. This historic port town’s whitewashed, low-rise buildings are protected by law, and wandering through the Mutrah Souq while enjoying sweet cardamom tea is a very enjoyable experience. Take a moment to marvel at the Masjid Al Rasool Al Adham mosque, with its distinctive blue dome and minaret. If you want to venture out of the city, Oman is abundant with natural beauty, with rugged mountains, wind-blown deserts and immaculate coastlines waiting to be explored.
