Trip firms are warning travellers not to panic or make quick changes to their trip plans as tensions between Iran and Israel escalate. Despite increased geopolitical concerns, most commercial flights are operating as planned, and airlines are still responsible for rebooking in the event of cancellations or rerouting – at no additional cost to passengers.
Key Messages from Travel Experts:
Don’t rush to cancel or change flights — wait for official updates from your airline.
Airlines must rebook you if your flight is affected due to airspace closures or safety concerns.
Most carriers have flexible travel policies during times of geopolitical unrest.
Keep your contact information updated with airlines and travel apps for real-time alerts.
Travel agents are closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with airlines to ensure minimal disruption. They emphasize that overreacting may result in unnecessary penalties or complications, especially when airlines are equipped to handle rebookings.
