Finding flights to the Middle East from the U.S. in business class can be expensive, which is why we were so excited to get this deal alert from Ashley Gets Around. Rates are good from the East Coast as well as the West Coast, which is incredibly rare. Let’s take a look.

Fare Deal — Details

These flights are operated by a mix of Saudia and Oman Air. While we’ve flown Saudia in the past and enjoyed the food (spoiler, it was some of the best we’ve ever had on an airplane), keep in mind that it is a dry airline and serves no alcohol.

  • Class: Business
  • Routes: New York (JFK), Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles (LAX) to Muscat, Oman (MCT)
  • Dates: November 2024 to September 2025
  • Rates: As low as $1,798 round-trip

You’ll find the cheapest rates from New York (JFK) to Muscat (MCT).

However, you can also find similar rates from Los Angeles (LAX), which is surprising given the extra distance and time spent onboard.

How To Book

These discounted fares are pretty widespread, so make sure you have a look on the Google Flights fare calendar to see which dates work for you.

Once you’ve settled on travel dates, make sure to book your ticket with a credit card that rewards for flights or general travel purchases. Some of our favorites here at Upgraded Points include:

Final Thoughts

This is an excellent deal for the Middle East, where even economy cash tickets can be pricey. For just $1,798, you’ll enjoy a lie-flat seat, enhanced dining, lounge access, and more. But you’d better book soon — deals this cheap don’t usually last long.
