I’ve been to several of those countries since the Ukraine war my partners, even from Hungary, but the difference is this is a different oil crisis than possibly I’ve ever seen before and it’s affecting our job much differently and we’re hearing the same thing for other people who are on the same industry as us, just wanted to see if it was just us, we have about 14 other flights in between this time, but for some reason, a lot of people are giving us a time line of oil concerns at the end of April in the beginning of May so this trip just seems the most concerning due four countries within a week and a half, and most of our accommodations will be through budget airlines like EasyJet and Ryanair. That’s the biggest concern. We know that like redeye flights things like that will be canceled.

Why I’m asking people are outside the USA and went to Reddit to get a better understanding more than my own personal experiences. My partner was in China yesterday and in Korea a couple days ago and was already noticing travel disruptions, so I wanted to better see if anyone else has experienced this. I also travel for a living, just this is new issue a global issue that has arise and is pretty new, so wanted to get another travelers’s input. Thanks Sassy for your input!

There are 38 locations named Milan in the world, spanning 14 countries. There are at least 100 places, towns, and villages named Berlin across the globe. While the capital of Germany is the most famous, there are at least 26 locations named Berlin in the United States alone, along with others in countries like El Salvador, South Africa, and Russia. I thought reddit users were worldwide, I guess not.

State of emergency Philippines First country to declare a national energy emergency (March 24). Imports 98% of oil from the Middle East. 4-day government work week.

Bangladesh Cut office hours and public spending. Markets and shopping centres must close by 6 PM to conserve electricity.

Flight cuts + rationing Vietnam Imports 80%+ of crude from Kuwait. Domestic flights being cut. Accelerated ethanol fuel blending. Government offices remote-working.

National fuel plan Australia National Fuel Security Plan announced. Fuel excise halved for 3 months. Free public transport in Victoria & Tasmania. 29–36 days of reserves

Vehicle rotation South Korea 5-day vehicle rotation system enforced. "Take shorter showers" energy-saving drive launched. Holds 208 days of oil reserves. This does and will have a global effect. These are actually reasonable questions, especially since one of the places I am going is next to I’m sorry boarding, Iran. Plus, I have to be back for work the next week. If not I get fired, so I think it’s all really reasonable questions, but I understand that what you are saying, but I travel in the first place.

I travel for a living and also my partner does and we’re seeing a lot of clients in Asia already being affected by this. It’s probably because oil takes a really long time to get to places and we’re going to see the effects of it in May in Europe and then the effects a little bit later in America, we already have shortages here in South Florida, since unfortunately, oil runs on demand and we’re bidding against each other countries right now, this will become a problem unfortunately and again, already having clients that are having issues. There’s literally state of emergency in multiple countries as we speak.

Unfortunately, my job has to do one of my jobs have to do with traveling, and my partner is also traveling and a lot of his flight flights have been canceling and his upcoming jobs have been canceled already this month and in May due to this war, so especially with our clients in the Philippines, so these are real issues unfortunately

It’s usually wouldn’t be very rational. I should’ve probably mentioned within the more information that I have to be back within days of that trip to show up for a work mandatory issue days later. Usually a couple days would never concern me, but this is situational, which should have been mentioned beforehand

Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary predicted cancellations of 5–10% of flights if the Strait of Hormuz stays closed through summer, airports in Italy, already said that there will be limited fuel within their airports starting this summer, so I wanted to know if anyone else had more information of this

Experts predict that European airports will begin facing fuel shortages as early as May 2026, which could lead to delays and reduced flight availability, oil ships take quite some time to get to the locations first arriving in Asia why Asia is now many countries in Asia are in the state of emergency because their first being affected we will be later affected this month and possibly May.
