Absolutely Appalling Customer Service Experience with Oman Air
I have been calling Oman Air every single day for the past week regarding a rescheduled flight. On Monday, I was assured by the reservation team that my flight would be moved to the next day, and I would receive an upgrade as compensation. However, I received no confirmation, no email, nothing. Despite calling twice daily, I was continuously told that I would be contacted by the duty manager. Here we are, Tuesday, and still no communication!
To make matters worse, when I finally spoke to customer care in the UK, they told me they couldn’t help, and that the Indian customer care team had to handle it. Yet, despite their claims that I would be contacted, I haven’t received a single call. Today, when I called again, visibly upset, I was asked if I was requesting to change my flight to the next day—as if this entire situation was my fault. How can they change one leg of a flight without addressing the connecting flight?
The agent spoke as if I had made a mistake in my booking, rather than acknowledging the mess they created. I was forced to listen to her talking in the background for 5 minutes without being informed I was on hold. Not once was there an apology or any compensation offered for the inconvenience. I was even willing to be flexible with the new date, but the sheer lack of acknowledgment, responsibility, or basic customer service skills is astounding.
This has been the most frustrating, disorganized, and infuriating experience I've ever had with an airline. If this is how Oman Air treats its customers, I will never book with them again.
Oman Air, you need to seriously reconsider how you handle customer care, because this experience was nothing short of a nightmare.
