One of our team members drove from Dubai to Oman a few years ago and was telling us about the experience. Ever since then, we have been trying to figure out how to get there on top of all our other travel. We will get there at some point, its on our bucket list; we want to go off-roading in the wadis of Oman.

Sample Date:

• November 11th – 18th. Valid for travel from October 22nd – December 13th or December 24th, 2012 – March 21st, 2013. Use ITA Software Matrix Airfare Search and flexible month search to see availability. Must purchase by March 31st, 2013. (this does not mean this fare will be available until then; KLM can pull this anytime)

Routing:

• LAX – AMS (Amsterdam) – DOH (Doha, Qatar) – MCT (Muscat) – DOH – AMS – LAX

Mileage:

• 18,110 miles or 5.1 cents per mile. KLM partners with Delta and is the national airline of the Netherlands. This fare will credit 100% mileage with Delta SkyMiles. With 18,110 miles, that’s almost enough for a free domestic ticket; remember to provide them your Delta SkyMiles number at checkin to receive your miles. DO NOT CREDIT THIS TO KLM’s program, as it will only earn 25%. Credit to Delta!
