Are flights to the UAE in August operating as scheduled, and how can I reduce the risk of cancellation when booking?
Based on 1 discussion with 2 participants · Last activity: 24 days ago
TL;DR
Check the August flight by its flight number with both the airline and tour operator before paying; final confirmation should appear in the PNR booking. To limit risk, choose a refundable or flexible fare, or a package holiday with written change and refund terms.

Before booking an August package, ask the tour operator for the flight number and confirmed status. Then check the same flight on the airline website using the PNR booking reference; a tentative flight shown in a package listing is not enough.

For departures from Novosibirsk, confirm whether the itinerary is a direct charter or includes connections: if a charter segment is cancelled, the replacement may depart on a different day. Keep the airline name, date, departure airport and refund terms in the contract.

For an early-August trip, do not rely only on verbal assurances. Choose a ticket that can be changed or refunded, pay by a method that provides payment records, and recheck the flight 72–48 hours and again one day before departure.
