Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

Many would say yes.

Noting that should you fall ill, or your luggage be lost or things get worse and you get stuck there for much longer than your planned transit, you will not be covered by any TI as you are knowingly transiting somewhere on the Do Not Travel list.

Dubai is looking like a place to avoid and fortunately I booked back up flights on CX so its looking like this is the safer option.
Emirates are suggesting you can easily defer, cancel flights to 30 April so I advised the TA I am looking to cancel and if any flight changes come up then don't accept, its time to hit the refund button.

Out of need or because it was cheap?

Out of working there. Interesting place but not recommended as a holiday destination.

Trump just announced 2-3 more weeks, and then it's up to everyone who uses the straight to open it, I don't think this bodes well for the region until May.

He’ll tweet something else by next week anyway…

The crude oil price rose during the speech which gives an indication of what the market thinks….

Received an email from QR that my flights departing on 28/5 from BNE-FCO have been changed. When I click on the link to view the changes it says no such booking reference. They have also disappeared from my QR phone app so I can only surmise that they have been cancelled!
