  Middle East Crisis - Gulf Carrier Refunds, Reroutes & What To Do Now

  —42 minS4

  The Middle East aviation crisis drags into its second week and the situation is far from resolved. Dan and Alex break down the latest: Thai Airways hiking fares 15%, Emirates still operating at roughly 60% capacity, Qatar down to just 66 flights from nearly 600, and Etihad barely flying. They explain your refund rights across all three Gulf carriers, why you shouldn't accept a refund before exploring rerouting options, and how airlines like Cathay Pacific and British Airways are adding emergency frequencies. Plus, the controversial repatriation flight pricing scandal and listener Q&A tackling real booking dilemmas. ------------------------ Please send us your questions, topics, or opinions via direct message on Instagram below.

The duo explore the uncomfortable truth about luxury airline branding versus actual passenger experience, compare Air France's $30,000 pricing against Emirates and Singapore Airlines, and discuss what first class really needs to deliver in 2026.
