Cheap business class flights to the Middle East are rare, and discounted tickets to Oman are even rarer. That’s why we immediately jumped at the opportunity to book these round-trip flights from the East Coast to Muscat (MCT), operated on Saudia and Oman Air.

Here’s what you need to know!

Fare Deal — Details

This deal is available from several East Coast cities, including New York (JFK) and Washington (IAD), to Muscat (MCT).

The long-haul flights to and from the U.S. to the Middle East are operated on Saudia’s Boeing 777, which is arranged in a reverse herringbone 1-2-1 configuration. You’ll fly Oman Air’s Boeing 737 on the hop from Saudi Arabia to Muscat.

It’s important to note here that Saudia is a dry airline, which means that it does not serve alcohol on board any of its flights. Still, Saudia is an impressive way to fly to the Middle East. Business class features a lie-flat bed, a 17-inch HD IFE, a dining table, and an ottoman.

Explore some dates on Google Flights, and then book directly with Saudia. You may find cheaper tickets if you book through an online travel agency (OTA), but we recommend booking directly in case you need to make changes to your reservation after purchase.

Class: Business class
Routes: New York (JFK) and Washington (IAD) to Muscat (MCT)
Dates: November 2025 through March 2026
Rates: As low as $1,940 round-trip

Final Thoughts

This is one of the best deals we’ve seen for a flight to the Middle East. An sub-$2,000 round-trip flight in lie-flat business class can’t be beaten, even if Saudia isn’t your preferred airline.
