Delta – $811: Los Angeles – Muscat, Oman. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Oman is on our bucket list for the amazing vistas.

(If you don’t care about miles, Swiss Air has this for about $40 cheaper. But saving $40 would mean giving up at least 18,000 miles. You would get at least $180 of value from the miles. Sometimes, you have to spend a little extra to save money)
