Travellers rebooking flights to or from the Middle East won't pay extra for changes, reroutes, or refunds. Hong Kong's Cathay Pacific stopped all its flights to and from Dubai and Riyadh because of the developing Middle East war situation. The company had already stopped these services in March, extending the suspension, and also doubled fuel surcharges this month. All flight suspensions last until April 30, 2026.
