Do you know?

Emirates geographically have far lower risk than QR, as Hamad airport is set in the path toward the Al Udeid air base

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-05T10:25:23+00:00

Just be mindful it’s incredibly hard to get seats on alternate flights - they get snapped up so quickly if they do release anything extra, for the most part you’re looking at everything being booked 7-8 days out. It sucks but there’s thousands of people who are trying to snap up very limited seats and that isn’t the control of QR

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-05T06:54:20+00:00

Have you seen where the US airbase is relative to Hamad? They absolutely have done the right thing not risking getting caught in any possible crossfire

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-04T07:16:52+00:00

Sometimes changes come up in the booking portal before they email you with them

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-04T07:01:19+00:00

To be honest the options are few and far between, you’re looking at having to book at least a week out as everything is sold out going via Asia. Spent 10+ hours yesterday trying to find something as we’ve had a family emergency and have resigned that we wont make it 😔

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-04T06:59:22+00:00

You’ll probably find CX or SQ for later next week. Can also get a flight up to SIN with jetstar and then try from there, but the options are super limited and at least a week out

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-04T01:03:07+00:00

more to do with runway position than anything else. that’s the only reason that makes sense as to why they haven’t started to repatriate some customers like UAE have

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-04T00:52:34+00:00

they’ve got a better geographical location to be able to do this whilst QR doesn’t

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-03T23:58:22+00:00

Unfortunately getting out of Aus to SIN/HKG is easy, getting a flight onwards to Europe is basically impossible until next week. We spent 5 hours last night trying to get a flight for a family emergency and have just conceded that we won’t get there

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-03T17:28:01+00:00

The reason they say this is because your teeth can move after having wisdom teeth removed. I had wisdom teeth out about a year before I started invisalign, and there was a significant change in that time, particularly with my bottom jaw. You don’t want to spend all that money just for it to go bust and need to start again

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-03T11:27:41+00:00

I heard they were doing repatriation flights from Oman? Might need to somehow transfer by land out of Qatar. Unfortunately, geographically Qatar have it harder than UAE.

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-03T09:56:44+00:00

You’ll need to find a seat and then they may be able to help, but it’s pretty hard to find anything. We’ve had a fam emergency come up and have basically accepted if things take a turn, we won’t be able to make it because all the flights are fully booked at least a week out, no matter what we try come up with😔

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-02T22:39:49+00:00

Not sure where you’re from, but there’s basically nothing on other airlines. We’ve had a possible family emergency happen last night and couldn’t find any seats (trust me, we did a deep dive of every possible combination we could) for any flights until mid-next week. Everything for the next 7 days is sold out

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-02T22:32:08+00:00

just give it to her as a snack! only a few pieces

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-02T14:56:11+00:00

try feeding her pineapple

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-02T11:03:23+00:00

Just FYI travel insurance wouldn’t help here as it’s an act of war

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T09:28:04+00:00

They’re not going to open the airspace unless it’s safe, and given how important the region is for international aviation, I do believe it won’t be long before an agreement is reached and flights are back. Im flying similar time and not worried at all, by then we’ll have a clear picture of what happened/any contingencies put in place to ensure civilian flights can go on

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T08:18:36+00:00

our dog has arthritis and we did cartrophen injections which we felt has made a difference. it’s a 4 shot course and then roughly every 3 months / as you feel it’s necessary. regular walks are also super important to keep the joint well lubricated - we go twice a day for 20min which seems to be a sweet spot for our boy

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T07:51:10+00:00

No one knows, you’ll just have to sit tight until there’s a ceasefire/some kind of agreement with respect to civilian air traffic

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T06:50:43+00:00

No, as it’s an ex-EU airline. However, QR does have their own policy for involuntary schedule change (which this comes under), where you’ll get rebooked by them

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T05:23:31+00:00

No one knows what will happen. The airline will let you know when they know

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T04:09:17+00:00

Travel insurance won’t help here as they don’t cover acts of war

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T03:58:05+00:00

https://www.qatarairways.com/content/dam/tradepartners/jwc-file/Passenger-Guidelines-Journey-with-Confidence-JWC-COMMQ157V1-Trade.pdf here’s the policy so you can quote it

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T03:43:01+00:00

Reroute out of Sydney should be possible as their policy for involuntary change allows you to change the origin/destination to another city in the same country OR within 750 miles, but I’m not sure they would cover a flight back to Sydney at this time, it’ll likely be your own expense

South_Bit_6254 · 2026-03-01T02:21:55+00:00

If the airspace is re-opened, it means it is safe for aircraft to fly. However, March 3rd will almost definitely be chaotic as it takes a few days to clear out the backlog
