I don't think so. It's not the Qantas way (unless they throw in some other unrealistic hurdles).

That's sound advice and basically what I'm doing. I have an EY J ticket to MXP in a couple of weeks time and have decided not to fly it at all. Too many risks IMO. I have decided to stay in Oz for the time being and leave any International trips for at least a couple of months to see how it...

I've flown AI business a couple of times (DEL-LHR) and found it to be completely awful. Of course, this was several years ago, but from what I read, it hasn't improved. From my experience flying AI and getting into and out of India, I'll never go there again, or fly another Indian airline. And...

Never let a good opportunity go by...

And the reputation of the UAE being a safe and reliable haven in the ME. The Emiratis don't want that to be exposed, so showing business as usual lets the world know that the UAE is a safe and reliable place to do business. Unfortunately, they didn't get Iran onside with that. BTW, I didn't...

Definitely I might imagine.

You're 100% right. Even coming close to an aircraft which is empty should be enough to close an airport. But not in the UAE. They don't want to lose their revenue, but they may lose their credibility. But drones and missiles are currently being directed towards Dubai as we speak. How safe can...

If it were me (and it has been and will be several times), I'd stay at the Savoy, a few minutes more walking down Newport Blvd after you exit the Runway (of course, if you're walking averse, then the Belmont's fine). I just prefer the Savoy. Getting to/from T1/T3, don't faff around, just get a...

Very true, but I (no one) wants to go through all that rigmarole, with an uncertain outcome. Basically, I don't want to lose the thousands of $$$ I have paid for this EY ticket because of some absolute morons in another continent that I didn't vote for.

One of the reasons I have given VA away.

All of the above (and likely some more). Don't get too excited, it's Qantas after all.

Well, OK, this (friendly dispute in the ME via the USA) seems to be going nowhere. I have a flight ticketed through AUH for a couple of weeks time. I'd prefer not to take it, and get a refund. EY isn't playing ball at the moment (wants its cash of course). Thinks its perfectly safe to travel...

Yes indeed, but the Emiratis are pressing on regardless. I imagine very little will stop them, even fatalities at DXB or on an aircraft in flight. Money comes first, it appears. I hope I'm wrong....

I assume you've flown WY before. If not, have lots of fun at MCT {in more ways than one).

Some people can't be helped. Just sayin. But good luck anyway.

But at least they do get in line when trying to board.

Just be thankful it didn't damage the runways.

I think you'll need to define "safe".

The UAE putting money before passengers' lives IMO

Just reminds me of when I was a lad, in the UA lounge in T7 at LAX (many times) The beers were supposed to be complimentary (with the requisite voucher), but if you didn't give the barman a tip, you'd be waiting a little while for your second, and wouldn't receive a nice smile (!). Got to know...
