Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

P class Qatar ticket for the same route. I guess P class is restrictive, but still earns some miles?

P is their Business Lite so no lounge access unless you have status

I assume all of these 747s running cargo flights into Australia over the last week or two are due to tighter availability on the reduced ME3 schedule?

Seems to be a lot of 747s on cargo runs compared to normal.

The lack of middle east traffic has not really had an effect on cargo, certainly there is no real increase in traffic, non of the middle eastern cities feature in the top 10 for freight

Just wondering.
Does anyone know how far forward am I able to rebook a rewards flight with QR?
Flight booked with velocity points.
12 months ok?

For guests booked on Virgin Australia’s Doha services with original travel dates up to and including 15 June 2026, where an alternative provided flight is unsuitable, we are offering free booking changes to the same destination for travel up to 31 October 2026, or a travel credit or refund.

Some international developments which might mean flights could be on the path to getting back to normal

Looks like a two week period for some to get flights moving.

Oil has crashed went into the 80s briefly before.

I pulled the pin on my Emirates flights, I would be traveling in exactly 2 weeks and I guess its just easier knowing I have confirmed flights on Cathay that have been operating.

Missiles are still being fired by Iran - a lot of the IRG cells operate autonomously so there’s going to have to be a leap of faith for airlines to resume flights - at least in the early days.

 

[Rembrandt]

It would be ridiculous for airlines to resume operations during the ceasfire which probably won't even last two weeks. I have no confidence in any of the three trouble makers that it will last two weeks.

Frankly, priority is getting as many ships through the straight as possible....

Israel hasn’t agreed to the ceasefire it seems, sadly I can’t see it lasting.

In the gulf region they have. Just not Lebanon.

 

[Pushka]

Actually I think it will stick. There is no reason for Trump to make any further intrusions.

Yes. Different issues there completely.
