    This might be worth a look

    At present, you can get BA Silver equivalent on Oman with two business class returns Europe-South East Asia, as it’s 200 points per sector plus a further 100 for every USD1k spent on Oman.

    1100 gets that top tier status – Sinbad Gold. Family pooling of miles is also an option.

    From 30th June they join one world. I can’t see anything about changes in earn rates off the back of that.

    Sinbad only has two status tiers, and OneWorld has three. I would not be certain that Sinbad Silver would equal OneWorld Sapphire (BA Silver).

    Currently you cannot earn TPs with partner airlines at all if I understand it correctly, it’s anybody’s guess how partner credits might work.

    Definitely one to watch from month end.

    According to an email sent by Oman Air to existing members:

    Sindbad Silver will be oneworld Ruby
    Sindbad Gold will be oneworld Sapphire

    There will be no oneworld Emerald status for the moment, even though WY has had 5 years to plan for it.

    Also people with existing bookings with flights on WY may get reticketed for some reason to do with OW integration, so if you have one, check again that you still have a valid ticket number a few days before the flight – I think it is flights that connect to or from other OW carriers that are impacted, although I’m not entirely sure what the issue is.
