Hi all not a visa question but I hope someone can help.

Has anyone on here just arrived here or recently,

With a flight through the middle east, ie quatar or Dubai,iv got family coming in 10 days flying with emirates, I can't get any sense from the website, regarding if flights are back to normal, 77% it says but don't say what flights are affected,

Thanks.

I'm flying from Manchester UK with Emirates.. all Emirates flights out of Manchester are currently flying and are on time , including connections from Dubai to BKK.

I'm following them daily on flight radar and YouTube live at Manchester.

Only change is EK22 is currently a 777 not a A380 .

I fly back last week with Emirates. They changed my first leg plane but the times where the same.

Everything looked normal in Dubai.

But has everyone says tomorrow is a new day.

Just go with it and keep your fingers crossed

The other 23% are flights to Kuwait Iraq and Iran. Get Flightradar 24 app, you can see all flight history of all airlines.

Go to the airport website they are traveling from or arriving. Look to see if daily flights are scheduled, delayed or cancelled. This will give you a good indication

traveled mid of march so right within the hot time and it was a normal experience. flying tonight again via dubai. most flights operate as usual and when you book a flight now then that will surely happen. but to make sure you could check the last 20-30 flights for a certain route. could even let chatgpt analyze it for you… flight operations are going as usual on a slightly reduced schedule.
