I flew with SalamAir from Vienna to Muscat and then continued (on an Oman Air flight) to Bangkok. I must say that before the flight I was very apprehensive about this airline, as I don’t think I’ve ever seen worse reviews. However, I couldn’t resist the price of the tickets, which were incredibly cheap.
The journey went absolutely smoothly; check-in was quick, nobody checked hand luggage, and both the departure and arrival were on time. On board, we were given a meal box (it wasn’t much to write home about, but given that it’s a low-cost airline, it was a pleasant surprise).
The aircraft were an A321 Neo on the outbound leg and, I believe, an A320 on the return; they were in decent condition (better than the best-known EU low-cost carriers) and, overall, everything went smoothly.
So, if you come across affordable tickets from SalamAir and can accept their terms and conditions, I highly recommend this airline.
