Travel planning with obstacles

Bang… the American poured us a special tea again.
We booked a flight with Emirates via Dubai to Beijing, already last year. The current situation has urged us to compare our options.
What if the airport in Dubai remains closed? Is there an alternative from Mauritius. Google and other helpers will give you the wildest routes. So take another look for yourself, the Turkish airline shoots the bird in terms of price, they want 3500 chf for economy, they have already adjusted the prices to the situation. After a long back and forth, should we book an alternative at all, should we wait and see is fine… A rather mixed night later it was clear that we had to get insurance. Then clarify again in more detail, the only reasonable alternative is Air Mauritius via Kuala Lumpur and then there are connections with almost all Asian airlines to Beijing. The conditions of Air Mauritius for rebooking are very reasonable, 25 chf and the flight must be occupied by February 27. We take this risk. If we don’t need the flight and can fly via Dubai without any problems, we will rebook the flight to the end of January and then make a trip to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos next year.
Now it’s time to keep our fingers crossed, it remains exciting and there are only 23 days left until March 26th. To be continued…

Update 6.3.26

So, we have decided! We will not fly with Emirates via Dubai, but via Kuala Lumpur. We have applied for a refund of the flight via Dubai. Now we can fly relaxed over KL and not via a crisis region. Thank you Mr. Trump, that was another great idea, I thought the nuclear facilities were already destroyed, why that now? Fortunately, we have a plan B that still has to be booked.
