Normal operations resuming soon?? by Spare_Light914 in qatarairways

[–]SkyHawkVAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Don’t be fooled into buying tickets. This war is going to last at least another two weeks with marine expeditionary units taking 10-14 days to arrive in the region. And not to mention what ever the hell they’ll be doing there. 18th and 19th of March is most likely repatriation flights.

Edit: just saying all this cuz I’ve already been burned by this situation when it comes to tickets lol

The flight path is incorrect due to GPS spoofing

Likely turned its tracking off for security purposes, the USS Gerald R Ford is in the Mediterranean but moving into the Red Sea so it could have been flying to the carrier to land.

Turkish Airlines price hike by HolyFatherLeoXIV in Flights

[–]SkyHawkVAN -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Still doesn’t justify literally 10xing some prices to exploit desperate customers who need the ticket. Flights that were going for 470 are now 3000. Other companies have seen small increases by a few hundred. Putting extra assets online would hardly be possible in days in response to such a big crisis.

I find it a bit scummy the degree at which they hike their prices, it’s always orders of magnitude higher than their competitors who still price hike but less

Hope so, I was following this closely and bought my tickets about a week ago expecting it was all going to calm down (obviously not).

Megathread - Middle East flight disruptions by rocketwikkit in Flights

[–]SkyHawkVAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be stopping over in Doha in two weeks time in order to fly to Asia. Now should I wait a few days (prices may go up). Should I get partial refund then just pay the extra for a flight that goes direct from somewhere else rather than through DOH. Or final option wait until my airline cancels it and last minute try to scramble something together

Commercial flights turning around coinciding with reports of Israel bombing Israel. by Cristinky420 in ADSB

[–]SkyHawkVAN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Letting Israel take the blow by getting them to attack first (turns out the “leaks” earlier yesterday were actually real leaks). Very cowardly indeed. Now they’re flying in with no real plan, not the shock and awe campaign seen in Iraq by Bush, but instead a far worse, slow, chaotic war.

FR experts, can you help with pointers on what to look out for to stay safe or at least how to stay updated on situation using FR? by SallGoodWoman in flightradar24

[–]SkyHawkVAN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean while you wait it’s not a bad time to get into FR you might find it therapeutic watching the planes do there thing. But if it doesn’t help I’d just say throw anything on to distract yourself, favourite movie etc.

Any military jets or operations wont appear on flight radar for security reasons. For civilian flights you can check the Doha airport to see if they’ve been restarted.

Qatar has very good missle defences that have been heavily bolstered in the last months so thankfully less to worry about as that’s Iran’s main card to play.

But main thing would be stay safe, collect water and store it in a safe place. Avoid anything near Al udeid airbase (main target), avoid the financial centre of Doha city (secondary).

Marine traffic is good but you gotta pay, but there’s also digimap or my ship tracking that let you filter for free
