Greece (Athens) to Melbourne – will flying via Doha/Dubai be safe by August?
Hi everyone,
I’m planning a trip from Athens to Melbourne this August and I’m trying to figure out the best/safest route given the current situation in the Middle East.
Most of the cheaper flights go through Doha or Dubai, but I’m a bit unsure about how safe/reliable that will be over the next few months (in terms of potential disruptions, delays, airspace issues, safety etc.).
Would you consider it safe to book flights through Doha/Dubai for August, or would you avoid that route for now? Tickets are much cheaper than usual with Qatar and Emirates rn.
I was thinking of alternative routes (even with more stops, eg. Athens -> Istanbul -> Singapore -> Melbourne), but prices are quite high (~1900€ return trip), so I’m trying to balance safety with cost.
If anyone has insight into how things are looking, I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks in advance!
