Levels and Benefits

Sindbad Frequent Flyer Programme has three tiers: Blue, Silver and Gold. The more you fly, the faster you will progress from Blue on to Silver and up to our elite Gold Tier and enjoy the exclusive privileges attached to each of the higher tiers.

Tier upgrade is calculated either on the basis of number of Status Miles you earn or on the basis of the number of flights you take with Oman Air, whichever qualifies first for the next higher tier.

Progressing from One Tier to the Next
To move from Blue to Silver and further to Gold, you must meet the relevant tier qualification criteria. The criteria can be met either through the number of Status Miles you earn or through the number of sectors you fly on Oman Air. A sector is a portion of your flight for which a separate boarding pass is issued. Sector qualifications allow members who make frequent short-haul trips to qualify for a higher membership tier at approximately the same rate as those making less frequent long-haul trips.

The chart below illustrates the Status Miles required to qualify for or to retain a Silver Tier and a Gold Tier.
