Virgin Australia flights to Doha

[I love to travel]

I wonder if VA are perhaps thinking of dumping the deal? I’d imagine the decline in share price is party due to the exposure, even though I don’t believe VA carries any financial risk with this transaction.

Now if things get back to normal later on, I still think this is a wake up call for VA not wanting to ever run these flights with their own metal in house, the financial risk is considerable. Tensions in this region won’t suddenly disappear for the coming decades, will always be flare ups.

I think there is one clear takeaway - VA don't care once the ticket is sold and you are on your own. I would never book under this arrangement.

Not sure I take the same impression.

In light of the a war, I’ve got an option of re-routing on QR flight, change of date, credit or refund. I’m not sure what else I could possibly expect?

Sure it’s annoying a can’t transit DOH, but VA are being pretty reasonable.
