Managed to cancel 2 hotels without a charge just waiting on the last one getting back to me, happy so far as I booked without a cancellation policy in place.
Emirates are being a bit vague at the moment at the flight is only due Tuesday morning.
Either way we are not going now it’s all kicked off.

They’re intercepting the missiles, but debris are falling to the ground. Madinat Hind Airforce Base was getting repeatedly hit earlier, some of the surrounding communities like Dubai Hills have had debris fall on them.
This is worse than any of the other escalations we’ve had over the past few months/years. Even if it’s a flash in the pan, postponing vacation plans is a sensible decision.

My brother in law flew into Dubai yesterday. As soon as they heard things were getting hot they went back to the airport and got a flight to Kerala in India… they’re going to stop there for a few days to see how things pan out and then possibly work there way home via another route… they’re were travelling independently so no travel firms involved.

That's going to bring it home to a few people who've only ever known war on the TV.
Insurance companies are going to be crying into their small print.
Most insurance companies have a clause that excludes acts of war (regardless of whether war declared or not) so I suspect the insurance companies will be fine. Insurance companies are going to be crying into their small print.

Won't be an issue. The last couple of times there was to and fro between Israel and Iran, there was disruption over Iraq and Jordan. Flights to UAE will be fine.
This aged well...Hopefully you are not there yet OP.
Anyway, who trusts what some random on the internet says?I'm in the region at the moment and it's obviously been fairly consequential. We'll see.
I've never understood the appeal of Dubai it just looks like a hellscape to me. Built on the bodies of 100s of dead labourers. One of my reservations has also been it's in a bit of a fighty area.
If there's a protracted conflict I can really see the mask slipping off the place. We might end up with all of our high level criminals and shiny teeth types back. Invest in Essex property now!

The weather might be better in Dubai but you’re much less likely to have a shahed drone smash through your front door in your new build in Belstead Hall If there's a protracted conflict I can really see the mask slipping off the place.
