Just read the news about all of the other terror sponsors in the Middle East breaking off diplomatic relations with Qatar because they sponsor terrorism.
Not sure what this means for QR and, as I have a booking with them in September and October, I may or may not have to scramble.
Fortunately, my odd route may just pay off. When I saw the low price for JFK-SIN via DOH, I wound up booking it despite the fact that our ultimate destination is South Africa! Then I added the Maldives on the way to Capetown but used EK to get there from MLE.
As it stands, it looks like all of those flights would still run. Can't fly from Maldives to Qatar but can fly MLE-DXB. Anyway, this may not last as I suppose there is more to it than the announced reason. It may be because the other 5 countries take a harder line on Iran than Qatar does. All we can do is wait and/or see.
