12 April 2015
Sindbad, Oman Air's loyalty programme, has entered into a partnership with Rocketmiles, the rapidly growing hotel-booking website. The partnership will enable Sindbad members to earn up to 5,000 Sindbad miles on hotel bookings throughout the world.

From 1st April 2015, Sindbad members can earn from 500 to 5,000 Sindbad miles for each hotel night booked through Rocketmiles. Rocketmiles features handpicked hotels in hotspots around the globe, ranging from value priced properties to luxury hotels.

And to celebrate the partnership launch, a special promotion will offer first-time Rocketmiles users the chance to claim an additional 3,000 Sindbad miles, on top of the regular Sindbad miles earned through booking a hotel.

Paul Gregorowitsch, CEO at Oman Air, launched the new partnership, saying:
"Oman Air is delighted to be increasing the range of benefits we offer to our valued members. This new partnership with Rocketmiles will not just make it easier for Sindbad members to find and book the hotel that best suits their needs. It will also enable them to earn additional Sindbad miles, which can then be exchanged for flights, upgrades, inflight connectivity and a range of other services.

"Furthermore, for a limited time our special introductory promotion will give members an additional 3,000 miles as soon as they make their first hotel booking through Rocketmiles.

"We are confident that Oman Air's new partnership with Rocketmiles will receive a warm welcome from Sindbad members, who will appreciate the additional value and convenience it provides."

By flying with Oman Air, or any of its partner airlines, or by purchasing goods and services from Oman Air's many global partners, Sindbad members earn miles both in the air and on the ground. Sindbad miles can be used for free flights, flight upgrades, exciting raffles, promotions and more. Membership has three tiers, starting with Sindbad Blue membership and progressing through Silver to Gold membership.

Each tier offers a wide range of benefits, with higher membership status bringing exclusive lounge access, extra baggage allowance, priority check-in and other privileges. Additional promotions, special offers, privileges and member benefits are regularly introduced.
