The situation in the Middle East continues to evolve, and airspace restrictions continue to impact flights to, from, or via hubs in the United Arab Emirates. Airlines are actively updating their schedules as restrictions are lifted or re‑introduced when it is safe to do so.
We will be providing regular updates on our Help Centre which can be found on our website or this link 👉 http://travl.to/6182Qozwn
If your travel plans are affected, Flight Centre’s travel experts are here to help. Our team can support you with rebooking options, cancellations, or travel insurance questions.
👉 Should I cancel my booking?
Cancelling without notifying your Travel Expert may remove your rights to a refund via your airline and other travel partners in your itinerary. Please chat to your Travel Expert to best understand all your options first.
👉 Will I be charged to change or cancel my booking?
We are working with our partners to make the change and cancellation process simple for you. From Monday 9th March, Flight Centre will waive fees in accordance with the supplier's policy.
👉 I am due to travel to, from, or via the Middle East in the next 48 hours (and my store is closed)
We recommend contacting our emergency assistance team who can help discuss your options with you. You can contact them on: 0800 32 27 74.
