If you don’t have a confirmed PNR and airline confirmation, don’t go. Special flights often have controlled access and fast-changing manifests.
Oman Air Advisory (Important if you’re connecting via Muscat)
Oman Air advisory: if you’re crossing a land border to reach Muscat for a flight, plan for heavy checkpoint traffic and delays.
Land border travel to Muscat: arrive at least 12 hours before departure (why delays happen)
Oman Air has advised passengers using land borders to Muscat to arrive at least 12 hours before departure, due to heavy traffic and longer processing times at border crossings.
UAE Hub Impact (Connectors: Dubai/Abu Dhabi still restricted)
UAE hub impact: even if your airline is not UAE-based, Gulf connections can break your itinerary. Expect last-minute changes if your plan relies on Dubai/Abu Dhabi.
Emirates Dubai scheduled flights suspended until March 7 (UAE time) — why this affects connections
Emirates has stated scheduled flights to/from Dubai remain suspended until March 7 (UAE time). If your itinerary connects through Dubai, your onward leg may be cancelled even if your first leg flies.
If you have a Gulf connection: expect last-minute changes and reroutes
Reroutes can increase flight time, break tight connections, and cause baggage misrouting. Keep buffer time and avoid multiple short connections right now.
What to Do Right Now (Passenger checklist)
What to do right now: verify using your airline and your PNR, choose the correct option if cancelled, and prioritize confirmed special flights if stranded.
Check flight status via airline site/app + your PNR (don’t rely on third-party sites)
Use the airline app/website first. Then confirm using your PNR inside “Manage Booking.” Third-party trackers can lag during disruption.
If cancelled: choose refund vs rebook window (airline-specific rules)
Ask one clear question: “Am I eligible for a full refund or free reschedule?” Get the answer in writing (email/app).
If you’re stranded: prioritize special/repatriation flights (seat availability is tight)
If you’re stranded, special flights can be your fastest exit—but seats disappear quickly. Move only when confirmed.
FAQs (People Also Ask style)
How do I check if my IndiGo flight is cancelled today?
Check IndiGo’s cancellations list and confirm inside your booking using your PNR. Don’t rely on “scheduled” alone.
Are Jeddah flights operating on March 5 from India?
Air India has stated it plans to resume scheduled services to/from Jeddah from March 5 via specific flight pairs (AI2255/2256, AI2251/2252, AI2245/2246). Confirm your exact flight status using your PNR.
Are Dubai/UAE flights running normally on March 5?
No. UAE operations are still limited, and several airlines are operating special or reduced services. Treat all UAE/Gulf connections as high-risk for changes.
