Qantas' New Flight Reward Finder Tool

I think unless you've got family in the Middle East area or there's literally no other option but to transit via that area now, you'd be crazy to even consider any one of those airlines at the moment.
Getting to Cairo is interesting at the moment...
 
Its interesting how this shows as 1 stop. Now i know technically MELto HEL is non-stop but i wondering how many of the general public wont understand that it goes via Bangkok

I suppose you'd have to go via IST or JNB (or at least, those are the connection points relatively reachable from Aus exit points). Not very direct compared with the Gulf, but a bit less... exciting.

Agree!!! We have Nile cruise booked for late September (plus other stuff in Europe before and after) but in total holding pattern with flights and havent booked anything.

Final cruise payment is due late May so hopefully more clarity in the coming months. It's not so much the middle east fighting as the uncertainty about fuel supplies that is making me anxious.
 
I've had a look at this new Qantas offering, and I think I'll be staying with seats.aero.
 
So the tool makes it easier for people to find out that there is next to no business/first award seats on QF metal. Very useful.
 
Who would book Emirates right now?

Ridiculous fees & flying through a war zone.

That's your answer.
Not that l am expert in the situation, but you would be fairly confident that this will quieten down and revert back to normality towards the end of year. So this is a great opportunity to get great seats!
 
After initially giving up due to Emirates, their exorbitant taxes and no filter, I am getting some reasonable results via FinnAir to Europe (Budapest, Prague, Warsaw (low taxes) and also on Sri Lankan (Paris with $600 taxes but on A330)......Shhhhhhh!
