Would you stop over in Doha next week or not?

I saw that DFAT put out an advisory against stopping over in Doha. Want your advice. I've got MXP-DOH-HAN in J on 26 June2025 in qsuites.

I was able to get MXP-HKG-HAN but in
Y on CX. MXP-HKG leaves at 12.45pm and is 11 hours. So at least not overnight. What's everyone's viewpoint. Would you still proceed with the Doha stopover (award flight booked on QR months ago 😭) or do you think it's a no go.

I read the advisory and it said to exercise extreme vigilance. What does that mean?!! I wasn't planning to go out into Doha. Or do you guys think it's dangerous just to even fly over that area with the war going on.


TIA for any advice on this. What would you do?

Also with qantas gold could I access a better seat in Y? I can't change the frequent flyer number from AS as I've booked that HKG
flight with AS even though it's on CX. So I'll have to ring CX I guess.

Cheers

Not voluntarily. Too much chance of bad boom boom.

What does your travel insurance cover with the current unrest?

But even with TI there probably isn't much they can do.
