Will I get home tonight?

[brums evil twin]

Flying home from Hanoi to dubai to Heathrow.

Will the Middle East play nice tonight and allow the airspace to remain somewhat open?

Got effected on the way to HCMC over a week ago and lost a day.

Now heading to the airport in a couple of hours. The news seems to think the cease fire is just about holding

Fingers crossed they all play nice tonight

Well, Qatar airspace is closed currently and Doha flights are being re-directed to Saudi Arabia but not sure about Dubai.

Edit to add: Dubai is currently open but some flights have lengthy delays or being diverted due to other airspace closures in the region.

Qatar Airspace is open. It opened early this morning.. Hanoi to Doha doesn't look to be doing well though. Both flights cancelled.

edit: I thought i read via Doha, not Dubai... Emirates flew this morning, so i think you're in luck if everyone plays nice.

Nothing showing that there is any issues leaving Hanoi in a couple of hours - plane is here, I am in the lounge. So all looking good

Just hope we land and the London flight managed to get in and can get us out!!!!

You know you can get a direct flight from Hanoi/HCMC to LHR, with Vietnam Airlines. They generally fly south of all the st going on at the moment.

Yes I know, but when you travel you need to pick one airline and stick with it.

So emirates is my pick

So we have arrived in dubai on time, and the London leg has a 20 mins delay - so far so good

Flying back to UK from Dubai tomorrow with Emirates.
All the info from them at present is positive.
Will watch with interest.

HOME

So apart from the London flight departing DBX about 40 mins late and a bit of circling before landing - we arrived around an hour late.

Glad everyone played nice and the flight route was only longer by about 35 / 45 mins in the end.

So all good - now feet up

Before next weeks flight to the good ole USA

Good news..
Currently waiting at the gate in DBX, very few delays posted on the board.
Our ethnic friends seem to be playing ball...
