This. But also, I have a super cheap J fare. I mean, yeah, they'll refund it, but I'll probably have to pay 2x to get the same ticket when it clears up.
Unless your flight is covered by EC261/2004. Then you can choose your alternative travel date.

Oh I agree with you - but yes. These 2 new cases alone was enough for Kuwait to ban all flights from Thailand today. Israel is also blocking anyone who has been to Thailand for the previous two weeks before going there. So off of very few cases, there is already (some) panic.

The UAE has now banned its citizens from going to Thailand as well, despite the cases still being minimal there. Not a good sign.

It will quickly escalate.
Wait until Trump forbids flights from the EU (not UK)!
