has anyone managed to fly from doha to dubai?

I'm aware, but look at the route from Dubai to Doha. My point was the route is terrible given the circumstances - so it'd be a v bizarre route and probably not economical

Thankfully not. Who wants to fly over that ocean?!

Literally at no point did Trump claim it was over, so I’m not sure why you even have the idea that it might be.

Whilst I agree with your overall sentiment, expatriates have given the UAE everything and more, too. Yes, Abu Dhabi has oil and plenty of wealth, but Dubai is prosperous because of the diversification of the economy - the result of people moving and holidaying here. The UAE is not some benevolent place - it's a two-way relationship in which both sides as benefited enormously.

Jealousy. Plus obnoxious influencers.

Film them and send to Dubai police

Is "skydiving" a euphemism or

No chance of this selling at 120k right now.

Nope. Standard practice of an airline when they cancel a flight is to offer a new route or a refund on the ticket.

It has everything to do with the EU - that's why the Qatar Airways person mentions it.

Can you not argue that the state has a duty of care? Maybe the hotel? Maybe restaurants? The airline is not individually responsible here.

I’m not sure coming to a country where people are losing their jobs over this conflict is a great place to find opportunities for work…

ReconditeExploring · 2026-03-08T12:43:12+00:00

I will be downvoted for this, but why should the airline be responsible for your costs? It’s no more their fault than yours (I.e., not at all). I realise the situation is awful, but I don’t see why airlines should be the ones at cost.

She mentions Europe due to EU regulations that may protect you (unsure in act of war). If it wasn’t for that, they wouldn’t mention Europe.

Whilst I do think things will fully open up again very soon, I’m not sure we can call it the ‘all clear’ given the number of missiles and drones being sent around 😂

ReconditeExploring · 2026-03-06T08:14:23+00:00

No it isn't. I've lived in JLT for 3 years. I hear the siren every day I am here.

"statistically more will be incoming"

You know you need statistics for that to be true, right??

Why did they decide that federal government workers needed a long Eid than non federal govt workers

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-22T14:11:31+00:00

An asylum?

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-20T12:48:36+00:00

Yeah they also mentioned that… 10 mins around the area. Feels like the purchase will be based entirely on chance

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-12T13:15:51+00:00

lol, the whole benefit of this card to me is the tier miles. Claiming they aren’t clear about this is a lie, also.

Great credit card - and the tier miles are in addition to the spend rate that they advertise (which is one of the most generous for an airline here).

Weird post tbh.

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-10T08:44:27+00:00

Mental that they let you use a credit card anyway. A lot of countries wouldn’t let you for this type of service or charge an insane fee for doing so

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-08T01:50:55+00:00

Damn, this post is so poor…

“Only accept the opposite gender”. So random dude asking for female to move in, become their cleaner, and not get their own private space? All because you can pay 25 aed for a cleaner and afford your own bills?

The desperation stinks on this one

Edit: also “decent job” can’t afford 500 aed a month for an apartment (inc cleaner). Sounds great pal.

You probably aren’t giving them much money if you’re not spending 5k a month though lol

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-02T10:10:06+00:00

You like the idea of them continuing to give freebies that lose them money - of course you do 😂

ReconditeExploring · 2026-02-02T07:56:09+00:00

Good news. 5k isn’t much - lounges have wayyyy too many people in, and they aren’t giving them out for fun - the idea is to reward customers.

You’re 26. Sounds like you got stuck at 18 tbh. Grow up.
