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.
