Able to book flight = loose indication they'll fly ?
God isn't this all on such a flippin knife edge !!
I wondered what the collective view on the above question is ?
The EK website is allowing me to book flights ex Germany for Fri and Sat and I am trying to work out whether (i) they would pull availability given the uncertainty or (ii) this an indication (loose or otherwise) that they expect to run the services.
The EK website does not show services into Germany for tomorrow as cancelled ........... yet
The sheer volume of flights that LH are running today leads me to suspect that Germany will follow the Swiss in the not to distant future -- any strong opinions to the contrary ?
Maybe I will get to Melbourne before my new grandchild makes his/her appearance! I still have confirmed booking for EK101 tomorrow - please don't let it be cancelled!!

Good luck!
Was the fact that BA pilots and planes made a concerted "attack" on UK airspace this evening anything to do with this opening up of UK airspace and revision of rules? If so, and I think yes, then well done to BA!
"We have been looking at mounting extra sections, including A380 special services where we will activate all the fleet that we have," Emirates president Tim Clark said during a media briefing yesterday.
He said the flights would go to bases such as Heathrow, Frankfurt and Rome "just as soon as the window of opportunity opens to us".
It is still possible and I won't be surprised if it happens.
I will be surprised as now airports all over Europe has opened. Can't see any sense of sending extra flights to Rome when Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris etc. are open.

Stop arguing for the sake of arguing, will you?
That was posted before all the airspace opened up, and came with the implicit assumption that this would be done should airspace remain closed.

No offence but you have a complete weird of trying to argue your point across. Rome was a hypothetical example, stop trying to be pedantic. It just comes across as bizarre.
flight prior to that.
