Patna's Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) has no direct flights to Muscat (MCT). The practical route is a 1-stop via Delhi (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), or Hyderabad (HYD). From Delhi, Oman Air and Air India operate daily non-stops to MCT. From Mumbai and Hyderabad, Oman Air and IndiGo codeshares cover the Muscat leg. The Delhi routing tends to give the shortest total elapsed time — a PAT–DEL feeder takes ≈ 1h 35m, and the DEL–MCT sector a further ≈ 3h 45m. Budget ≈ 2–3 hours of layover to connect comfortably, bringing total door-to-gate travel to roughly 7–8 hours.
Indicative economy fares on the Patna–Muscat routing (as of June 2026) sit in the range of ₹22,000–₹38,000 return, varying sharply with the advance window and season. The corridor sees heavy demand around Eid (Ramadan end and Bakrid) when migrant workers travel home, pushing fares up 30–50 %. The lowest fares typically appear in February–March and August–September. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead captures the best inventory; last-minute tickets frequently exceed ₹50,000. Mixing carriers (e.g. IndiGo PAT–DEL + Oman Air DEL–MCT) on separate tickets can cut costs but removes through-check-in protection.
The PAT–DEL feeder takes ≈ 1h 35m; DEL–MCT adds ≈ 3h 45m non-stop. Via Mumbai the sectors are ≈ 2h 10m + ≈ 4h. Oman operates on UTC+4, placing Muscat 1 hour 30 minutes behind IST — so a 10 a.m. departure from Patna (with a connection) typically delivers you into Muscat by early afternoon local time. Muscat airport is modern and air-conditioned; immigration queues can be long on weekday evenings so factor in ≈ 45–60 minutes post-landing before exiting arrivals.
Baggage allowances vary significantly when two airlines are involved. Oman Air Economy typically includes 30 kg checked baggage — generous by regional standards. Air India Economy allows 25 kg. IndiGo on the domestic feeder includes 15 kg as of June 2026; adding extra kilograms costs ₹500–₹1,200 per kg at the airport. If you book a self-connect (separate tickets), each airline applies its own allowance independently — declare all bags at PAT even if your onward carrier is different. Liquids, gels and lighters follow standard aviation rules on both legs.
Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT) is located ≈ 7 km west of Patna city centre. It operates from a single integrated terminal that handles both domestic departures (to your hub city) and limited international connections. The airport has basic food outlets and a retail zone. Auto-rickshaws, prepaid taxis and app-cabs (Ola/Uber) connect the airport to the city; the drive to Patna Junction station takes ≈ 20–25 minutes. Arrive at least 3 hours before departure for international-routed tickets, as immigration formalities apply when the ticketing is international even on the domestic leg.
Indian passport holders must obtain an Oman eVisa before travel — there is no visa-on-arrival at Muscat airport for Indians. The eVisa is applied for online at the Royal Oman Police portal or through a licensed agent; it typically costs ≈ OMR 20 (~₹4,300) for a single-entry tourist visa valid 30 days. Processing usually takes 1–3 working days. You will need a scanned passport copy, a recent photograph and return flight details. Travellers holding a valid US, UK or Schengen visa may also be eligible for a visa-on-arrival — confirm the current rule at /visas before booking, as eligibility criteria change.
Muscat is Oman's compact, walkable capital spread along a dramatic coastline. Top draws include the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Mutrah Souq, and the Corniche waterfront. The best time to visit is October to March, when daytime temperatures sit at a pleasant 24–30 °C. Summers (May–September) are extremely hot and humid, with temperatures regularly exceeding 40 °C — budget accommodation can be cheaper then but outdoor sightseeing is difficult. Weekend is Friday–Saturday in Oman; plan museum visits accordingly.
No — there are no direct flights. The standard route is 1-stop via Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad, with total travel of ≈ 7–9 hours.

What you pay on the Patna–Muscat route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Patna to Muscat live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across Oman Air, Air India, IndiGo.

There is currently no non-stop service between Patna and Muscat — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 7–9h (1-stop via Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Patna Muscat ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Patna–Muscat fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service Oman Air ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
