Hi, has anyone flown Turkish airlines from Manchester recently? I was booked in Emirates 25th Feb but due to this being cancelled I’m now looking at other options and have seen news of flights from UK to the likes of Holland France and Germany possibly in doubt

Answer summary

The discussion revolves around recent flight cancellations and the uncertainty of travel options from Manchester to Thailand. One user mentions they were booked on Emirates but now considering alternatives like Turkish Airlines and Qatar Airlines, due to the vague situation with UK flights to Europe. Another comment highlights that Thai Airways seems to be operating safely with two flights a week from Heathrow, despite concerns about UK border closures, COVID-19 testing protocols, and the implications of high mortality rates. Overall, participants express a cautious approach to rebooking flights amid ongoing travel restrictions.

Thai airways from Heathrow seems safe at the moment (they appear to have switched to 2 flights a week)

I'm correcting my post. Once a week on Sundays (the phantom flight I spotted on radar appears to have been a freighter, not a passenger service).

I’m in a similar situation, got Emirates flights from Manchester booked for March 18th. I’m hoping they may be flying again by then but if not I’m thinking of switching to Qatar but I don’t want to book anything else just yet incase of more flight bans. I’m going to wait until nearer the time and see who’s still flying
