What a shame you are not doing non stop flights between Salalah and Dubai.
Oman air, fly Dubai and Air Arabia have got you beat on that route.
The Salalah/ Muscat route looks good.
Will it be assigned seating?
Yes Flydubai will be a winner in Salalah Dubai flight as Salam Air is currently connecting Dubai via Muscat. But may be in future Salam Air also fly directly to Dubai from Salalah. It’s just the beginning. We are very optimistic with this new launch and Salalah will benefit as the other airlines will drop the fare too. 😃
Do not book on Salam air . their Salalah Muscat fare Friendly is 15 OMR. To change the date they charge 15 OMR.
No cancellation. Airline is not passenger friendly.
Please can you share flights schedule from Muscat to Sialkot.
