Nah :( They and Linda & Karen went through Bahrain and Dubai. The other teams went through Bahrain and Abu Dhabi.
I don't know about S1, S2, and S4, but:
In S9, BJ & Tyler went through Doha going to Muscat, Oman from Athens while the rest were on a direct flight.
In S17, Qatar Airlines were used by Jill & Thomas going from Oman to Dhaka, Bangladesh. The flight connections going to and leaving Muscat were scarcely shown on TV. :(
It seems that Qatar Airlines and Doha are connected with Muscat .... thoughts?
Neobie:
It's possible, but there's a faster flight from Vienna to Muscat via Istanbul-Bahrain, arriving about two hours earlier. Of course, it's possible the Brunettes didn't know about the flight or that it's sold out, so here's my second consideration:
Releasing the teams so they arrive at Vienna Airport at this time means they'd arrive in Muscat between 2-4am. This means bunching when they get to Oman. Why not release them later, so they can take a Dubai flight (amongst other options), leaving Vienna at 10.40pm and arriving the next morning at 9.30am, eliminating the need for an Hours of Operation bunching? TPTB hasn't liked doing that in recent seasons.
By contrast, flying to South-Asia/the-Indian-Ocean-islands gives us nice morning arrival times for a leg:
Seychelles at 6.30am, Colombo at 8.20am, Kathmandu at 8.35am...
