Hi folks,
i'm off to Oman for the first time on Tuesday night, just finalising packing and praying for the right weather! I'm keen to hear from anybody who has been through Salalah this year as I have a couple of questions:
I heard that some anglers have been stopped when boarding at Salalah as they had reel bodies (no line on) in their hand luggage. Is this a local regulation or just a dodgy security guy?
Has anybody experienced the same issue when transferring at Muscat?
The new duty free at Salalah was supposed to open in January (according to an article I found on the web). Did this actually happen and if so, can travellers arriving via Muscat buy some beers (I'm not a great spirits drinker but I'd love a cold beer after fishing..).
I'm assuming Heathrow is still ok for taking reel bodies in hand luggage as I haven't heard of any issues recently.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers
Dave
