Dear Clients,

It’s been a little while since our last update on the latest situation in the Middle East, so I thought I’d check in about what’s currently happening and what it means for travel.

What’s happening in travel right now?

At the moment, travel is largely continuing as normal, particularly outside of the Middle East.

Airlines aren’t cancelling flights due to fuel shortages, as they tend to secure their supplies well in advance. While the Strait of Hormuz is often mentioned in the news, it accounts for roughly 20% of global oil supply, with the majority sourced elsewhere.

Historically, even during previous periods of conflict, airlines have continued to operate. What we are seeing instead is schedule adjustments, capacity changes, and in some cases increased services where demand remains strong.

It’s also worth noting that airline pricing is dynamic. This means that airfare quotes are not guaranteed until the booking is paid in full and ticketed. Fares can change at any time, and fuel costs are factored into pricing. I recommend locking in pricing when you’re comfortable, rather than waiting too long and risking an increase.

For my upcoming travellers

If you have any upcoming travel plans, or are simply keeping an eye on things, please know I’m here to help you navigate any questions or concerns.

Situations like this can still lead to changes, and every booking is a little different. If you’d like me to review anything for you or simply talk through your options, just let me know.

There’s a lot of information out there, and it’s not always clear what matters. I’m in your corner to help makes sense of it and support you. This can make a real difference, especially when you’ve worked hard and waited patiently for your next adventure. All I want you to have to worry about is whether to pack your pink or yellow shirt.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. And if you know anyone who could use guidance with their travel plans, please send them my way.

Take care,

Lori Francisco
Your Personal Travel Manager

Travel Update – Middle East

Dear Clients,

I am aware of the recent developments in the Middle East and the resulting impact on airspace and commercial flight operations in parts of the region. I understand this ongoing situation might be causing concern, especially among travellers flying to or via this region. Please be assured that I am closely monitoring the situation and staying informed as events unfold.

If you are travelling within the next 72 hours, I will be in direct contact with you should your booking be impacted or if any action is required.

If your travel is scheduled beyond the next 72 hours, I kindly ask for your patience while I prioritise assisting clients with imminent departures. I will continue to monitor developments and will reach out if the situation changes in a way that affects your travel plans.

In the meantime, I recommend reviewing DFAT’s SmartTraveller website (www.smartraveller.gov.au) for the most up-to-date official travel advice on the Middle East. This will provide the latest government guidance to help you make informed decisions regarding your travel.

Thank you for your understanding. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any urgent concerns.

Your Personal Travel Manager,

Thank you for the opportunity to personally tour and inspect your beautiful airport terminal.

Travel Managers Australia recently toured Clark International Airport as part of their International Group Familiarization Tour.

The delegation got a firsthand look at CRK’s modern facilities, efficient services, and seamless passenger experience, highlighting its role as a gateway to Northern and Central Luzon, with smooth connections to the Philippines’ top tourist destinations.

Moreover, the visit is set to guide future itinerary planning, and foster potential partnerships, while showcasing CRK’s readiness to welcome international groups and its growing role as a premier gateway to the Philippines.
