Oman Air Flight Change Policy 2026
Last reviewed against Oman Air's General Conditions of Carriage, booking FAQ and travel information pages. Page updated .
Reviewed by Jack Martin, Senior Specialist at AirFiesta. About AirFiesta
Oman Air's Conditions of Carriage say you must contact Oman Air in advance to change a booking, and that certain fares limit or exclude changes and cancellations. The pages we could read state no fee amounts, so your fare rules decide. Unused tickets can be refunded or exchanged under those rules, a voluntary refund is the fare paid less administrative and cancellation fees, and a name error means cancelling and buying a new ticket. We found no 24-hour free-cancellation rule.

Oman Air change fees
The Oman Air pages we could read state no change or cancellation fee amounts. They refer to administrative fees and cancellation fees under your fare rules, and Oman Air's main website blocks automated readers, so we could not read its fare pages. Older guides quote fixed dollar fees by fare, discounts for loyalty members and higher charges at the airport. We could not match any of those to Oman Air's own documents, so we have not repeated them. Before you agree to a change, ask Oman Air or your agency for the exact amount for your ticket.
Change fee vs. fare difference
A change can include two separate amounts. A change charge is whatever your fare rules require. The fare difference follows from Oman Air's statement that changing your itinerary or dates may affect the fare. If you travel on a different itinerary without agreement, Oman Air assesses the correct price for your actual travel and you pay the difference.
Example (illustrative numbers, not Oman Air fares): You paid $400 and the new flight prices at $450.
The fare difference is $50. Any change charge under your fare rules is added on top, and you can decline the new fare and keep your original booking.
How to change your Oman Air flight
Change your Oman Air flight yourself
- Go to omanair.com and open Manage Booking with your booking reference.
- Check whether your booking qualifies: online date and time changes are for bookings with no extra products, and most travel agent and group bookings are excluded.
- If it does not, contact the Oman Air office or the agency where you bought the ticket.
- Review the new fare, any difference and any charge before you agree, then save the new itinerary.
If you booked with AirFiesta
- Use the at the bottom of the page, or email support@airfiesta.com with your AirFiesta booking reference.
- We check your fare rules and send you the options, with Oman Air's charges, any fare difference and our US$10 per passenger service fee listed separately.
- Once you approve, we make the change with Oman Air and email the new itinerary.
Cancel an Oman Air flight and refunds
Oman Air says unused tickets can be refunded or exchanged under the prevailing fare and ticketing rules. What you get depends on why you cancel:
- Voluntary cancellation: the fare paid, less any applicable administrative fees and cancellation fees (10.3.1).
- Oman Air cancels or makes a significant change: an amount equal to the fare paid, including refundable taxes and surcharges (10.2.1).
- Who is paid: only the person who originally paid, to the original form of payment, with photo ID for e-ticket refunds.
- Timing: requests go to the entity that issued the ticket, and online requests for eligible refunds are paid within 45 days (10.1.6).
- Credits and vouchers: Oman Air says it currently cannot accept them for online purchases.
If you booked through an agency, the cancellation and any refund go through the agency.
Oman Air 24-hour cancellation rule
We did not find a 24-hour free-cancellation rule in Oman Air's Conditions of Carriage or booking FAQ. Oman Air also says reservations must be ticketed within the time limit or they are cancelled automatically. Older pages claim a free 24-hour window for every fare. We could not confirm that, so do not rely on it.
Oman Air no-show policy and check-in
The Conditions of Carriage (6.2) say that if you do not reach the gate in time you are classed a no-show and a charge is payable. If you check in and do not fly without a valid reason, Oman Air may claim costs from the delay (6.3), the seat may be reallocated (6.5), and onward reservations may be cancelled (5.7.1). Notifying Oman Air before the check-in deadline can prevent that, subject to your fare rules. Use the times below.
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Online check-in opens | 24 hours before |
| Online check-in closes | 90 minutes before |
| Airport online check-in counter closes | 1 hour before |
| Boarding gate closes | 30 minutes before |
Source: Oman Air travel information page. The Conditions of Carriage (6.1) add that check-in deadlines differ at every airport, so confirm yours on your itinerary.
- If the flight has not left, change or cancel it before the check-in deadline.
- If it has left, contact Oman Air or the agency that issued your ticket straight away.
- Ask about the whole itinerary before you buy a new ticket, since onward reservations may be cancelled.
- If you booked with AirFiesta, call or message us before departure.
Oman Air name errors and name changes
Oman Air provides carriage only to the passenger named on the ticket, and tickets are non-transferable. Its booking FAQ says any error in the name or its spelling means the ticket has to be cancelled and a new one bought in the correct name, subject to current fares and availability, with cancellation charges that are not specified. Photo ID is required at check-in. Check every name against the passport before you pay, and if you notice an error, contact Oman Air or the issuing agency before you travel.
If Oman Air changes or cancels your flight
The Conditions of Carriage (9.1) say flight times and durations may change after publication or ticketing, and that Oman Air may substitute carriers or aircraft without notice. If Oman Air makes a significant change that you do not accept, and has no suitable alternative, you qualify for a refund under Article 10.2. For a cancellation or significant delay (9.2.2), you may choose rebooking on another flight, re-routing or a refund. We did not read Oman Air's compensation rules for delays, so check Oman Air's pages for your flight.
Ticket validity
An Oman Air ticket is valid for one year from the date of issue, or one year from the first flight if travel starts within that year (3.2.1). Coupons must be used in the sequence shown, or the ticket may lose its validity (3.3.1). Extensions are limited, and an extension after the death of a passenger is no longer than 45 days.
Changing Oman Air tickets booked elsewhere
Booked through a travel agent or another site
The agency that issued your ticket controls the booking, and Oman Air says most online changes are not available for travel agent bookings. Oman Air's fare rules still apply on top of any fee the agency charges.
Booked directly with Oman Air
Use Manage Booking on omanair.com where it applies, or contact the Oman Air office where you bought the ticket.
Booked with AirFiesta
We handle it for you. See the steps above.
Beware of fake Oman Air phone numbers
Search results for Oman Air help are full of third-party pages listing numbers for the United States, the United Kingdom and elsewhere that Oman Air may not publish. We do not print an Oman Air number here. Use the contact options on omanair.com or the agency that sold you the ticket, and never share card details with a number you found in a search result.

Frequently asked questions
Can I change my Oman Air flight?
Usually, depending on your fare. Oman Air's Conditions of Carriage say you must contact Oman Air in advance to change any aspect of your journey, and that certain fares limit or exclude your right to change or cancel. Itinerary or date changes can also change the fare you pay.
How much does Oman Air charge to change a flight?
The Oman Air pages we could read state no change fee amounts. They refer only to applicable fees under your fare rules. Older guides quote fixed dollar fees, but we could not match them to Oman Air's documents, so we do not repeat them. Ask Oman Air or your agency for the exact charge before you agree.
Can I change an Oman Air flight online?
Only in some cases. Oman Air's booking FAQ says date and time changes online are available for bookings with no extra products and for travel insurance bookings, and that most online changes are not available for travel agent and group bookings. Once a boarding pass is issued, you cannot change it on omanair.com and must call a local office.
Does Oman Air have a 24-hour free cancellation rule?
We did not find one. Oman Air's booking FAQ and Conditions of Carriage do not state a 24-hour free-cancellation window, and the only 24-hour reference we found concerns online check-in opening. Older pages that claim one for every fare could not be matched to Oman Air's own documents, so do not rely on it.
Are Oman Air tickets refundable?
It depends on your fare rules. Oman Air says unused tickets can be refunded or exchanged under the prevailing fare and ticketing rules. For voluntary refunds, the Conditions of Carriage say the refund is the fare paid less any applicable administrative fees and cancellation fees. If Oman Air cancels your flight, the refund is the fare paid, including refundable taxes and surcharges.
Who gets the refund and how long does it take?
Oman Air says refunds go only to the person who originally paid, using the original form of payment, and e-ticket refunds need valid photo ID for the named passenger. The Conditions of Carriage say requests go to the entity that issued the ticket. Online requests for eligible refunds are paid within 45 days.
What if I made a mistake in the name on my Oman Air ticket?
Oman Air's booking FAQ says any error in the name or its spelling means the ticket has to be cancelled and a new one bought in the correct name, subject to current fares and availability. Cancellation charges apply, but the amount is not given. Tickets are also non-transferable under the Conditions of Carriage.
What happens if I miss my Oman Air flight?
Arriving late at the gate is classed as a no-show, and a charge is payable, according to the Conditions of Carriage (clause 6.2). Onward reservations may be cancelled. Telling Oman Air before the check-in deadline can prevent that, subject to your fare rules, so contact Oman Air or your agency before departure.
How early must I check in for Oman Air?
Oman Air's information page says online check-in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 90 minutes before. The airport online check-in counter closes one hour before departure, and the boarding gate closes 30 minutes before. The Conditions of Carriage add that check-in deadlines differ at every airport.
Can I use an Oman Air voucher or credit online?
No. Oman Air's booking FAQ says it currently cannot accept any credits or vouchers for online purchases. If you hold a credit or voucher, ask Oman Air or the agency that issued it how to use it.
What if Oman Air changes or cancels my flight?
The Conditions of Carriage say flight times may change. If Oman Air makes a significant change you do not accept and has no alternative flight, you qualify for a refund under Article 10.2. For cancellations or significant delays, you may choose rebooking on another flight, re-routing or a refund (clause 9.2.2).
How long is an Oman Air ticket valid?
One year from the date of issue, or one year from the first flight if travel starts within that year, according to the Conditions of Carriage. Coupons must be used in the sequence shown, or the ticket may lose its validity. Extensions are limited, for example up to 45 days after the death of a passenger.
Can I change an Oman Air booking made through a travel agent?
The agency that issued your ticket controls the booking, and Oman Air's pages say most online changes are not available for travel agent bookings. Oman Air's fare rules still apply on top of any fee the agency charges. If you booked with AirFiesta, tell us your booking reference and we will confirm the options and costs first.
Is the Oman Air phone number on other websites genuine?
Be careful. Many third-party sites list Oman Air numbers, including United States and United Kingdom lines, that may not be official. We do not print an Oman Air number here. Use the contact options on omanair.com or the agency that sold you the ticket, and never share card details with a number you found in a search result.
How we keep this guide current
This guide explains Oman Air's published pages in plain English. It does not replace the fare rules attached to your own ticket. Oman Air's main website blocks automated readers, so we used its Conditions of Carriage, booking FAQ and travel information pages on its services site, and the Conditions of Carriage shows no version date. When a fee, deadline or rule is not clearly published, we say so rather than guess. We removed older figures that we could not match to Oman Air's documents, including fixed fees by fare, loyalty fee discounts, a 24-hour rule for every fare, same-day change fees, travel credit validity and extension fees, a COVID section and the phone numbers.
