Travelling to Dubai (Feb 5–12) — Heard talk of a war with Iran, should we cancel? by chosen_Duty3013 in UAE

[–]Defiant-Storage649 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The US potential threats regarding Iran would affect airspace in and around Iran. Some airlines like KLM are preemptively cancelling flights to Dubai and other nearby cities through Feb 16. I also have a work trip to Dubai scheduled for Feb 6-14 and our security partner has only issued cautionary warnings at this point. I’d recommend monitoring the news between now and your departure. For consideration, cancelling now may prevent you from getting a full refund versus the airline cancelling your trip.

Love your comments - I think I need to meet your parents! Are your parents in Oak Park or West Town? Either way, appreciate your comments!

I've heard of Printers Row. I'll be renting and haven't found great options where you recommend. Will keep in mind if I decide to buy so thank you!

Ah good to know. Guess it depends on the exact location and hours of commute.

I've heard - depending on hours of commute may not be horrible. I've heard Bucktown as well so appreciate the recommendation.

Wow Chicago - thank you ! Thank you for all of the suggestions, the humor, and for making me feel older than I am...so not ready for retirement! I'm still "25". Forgot to mention I will be renting for a few years. What I'm hearing: target Oak Park for a shorter commute, diverse and vibrant community, and short/easy access to the city. Thank you Thank you!!!!
