I was surprised to see that QR still flew above Iraq (QR3) yesterday.
I flew on BA 72 from AUH to LHR yesterday (3rd October). Not only did it depart on time but it arrived a good 20 minutes early at LHR, despite flying over Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The flight was very quiet (< 25% full) but I don't know if this is common or a consequence of the current troubles.
