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 business and economy by the World Travel Awards— and it also just so happens to have unveiled a new first class offering.

From Arabic coffee served from opulent-looking pots to new first class private suites featuring fully flat beds, 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.
