I have an overseas flight booked. What do current world events mean for my travel plans?
Volcano eruptions, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and the introduction of ' enhanced vetting ' following Donald Trump's inauguration have left many Australian travellers nervous, regardless of their chosen destination. Here's how to prepare for your coming overseas holiday, and what to know about the potential implications of crises – natural disasters or otherwise – on your travel plans. What popular flight routes have changed? It's not unusual for airlines to reroute flights to avoid disrupting services where safely possible, though cancelling flights can be unavoidable at times for airports. On Thursday, flights to and from Bali resumed with a backlog after two days of suspension due to the Mount Lewotobi Laki-laki eruption. In May, when fighting between India and Pakistan broke out some airlines used alternative flight paths through the Middle East to avoid Pakistani airspace. Taiwan's EVA Air, for example, diverted one flight from Taipei to Milan through Vienna for refuelling, and Korean Air rerouted its Incheon to Dubai flights south, flying over Myanmar, Bangladesh and India instead of through Pakistan's airspace. In addition to the closures of Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport and Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport, most of Iraq's airports except Basra International Airport remain closed as of June 20. That same day, American Airlines suspended its daily flights from Philadelphia to Doha, Qatar, and United Airlines paused its daily flights from New Jersey to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Delta Air Lines and United Airlines flights from the United States to Israel have been suspended since June 13. According to FlightRadar24, since Iran and Iraq's airspace closed on June 13, flights over Saudi Arabia have doubled and the number of flights passing over Afghanistan has increased by close to 500 per cent. According to FlightRadar24, the two airlines most affected are Qatar Airways and Emirates, with their flights to Europe and North America being rerouted.

Dramatic moment boozed up passenger is hauled off busy plane after VOMITING on another flier
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the shocking moment a drunk man is thrown off a flight for vomiting on another passenger - moments before the plane takes off. Cabin footage showed the disgraced man looking completely dazed as he leaned against the seat in front of him. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 A drunk passenger was booted off a 13-hour flight Credit: Jam Press 3 He was reportedly seen with an empty bottle of whisky Credit: Jam Press 3 He was booted off before the flight took off 30 minutes later Credit: Jam Press The repulsive ordeal took place on an EVA Air flight from Taiwan to Austria - a gruelling 13-hour journey. The clip was recorded by another passenger who was alerted to the chaos on May 25. In the video, the boozed up man is seen standing and hunched over the seat in front of him. Desperate flight attendants attempt to pull him out of his seat - but the man does not move an inch. He then tries to sit back down again, and manages to do so while the dumbfounded crew watch on. A security guard in a high vis jackets is even seen next to the man before crew try to lift him up again. Some of the flight attendants removed his rucksack and took it away. He eventually gets up, still appearing to be absolutely out of it. Fellow passengers reportedly saw the man with an empty bottle of whisky. It is unclear who exactly he threw up on, or whether the victim was able to clean himself up properly. Pigeons caused chaos on a Delta Airlines flight Saturday night at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport One of them told local media: "The cabin door was already closed, and then that person started vomiting. "There was an older man on his right, and when he saw him vomiting, he immediately stood up." They added: The flight attendants later helped move that older man's seat, but that whole row was then blocked off and no one could sit there." Staff later forced the man to get off the flight so they could clean the seat. After that, the plane was allowed to depart for its long 13-hour trip. But it was delayed by about half an hour, according to What's The Jam. Pilots made up for the lost time while in the air, and actually managed to land in Vienna, Austria, on time. The witness onboard also said: "It smelt heavily of ginger duck with lots of alcohol. "He probably drank it before boarding." They added: "His friend wasn't asked to get off, only he himself was removed."
