All regular terms and conditions associated with flying to the Middle East apply, and there\u2019s nothing further you need to know. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most airlines are gradually restoring flights to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha as the situation across the region stabilises. Some airlines have also announced the revised schedules and frequencies, so it&#8217;s worth checking with our travel consultant for the latest availability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, our teams are closely monitoring the situation, and if anything changes regarding the travel advisory, we will contact our customers to assist in every possible way.
