Lufthansa Direct (Central Asian Routing)
Limited · 55
Near a warning area · None reroute options · Minimal extra time

Shortest total distance, but sole-corridor dependency at maximum rating. Fastest on normal days; most vulnerable when Central Asian corridor is restricted.

The catch

Only one path. No other way if it closes

Via Dubai
Limited · 55
Through a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Moderate extra time

The top option avoids the warning area this route crosses.

Emirates' rebooking depth is the advantage. FRA→DXB transits the active Middle East advisory zone — don't let the frequency obscure the airspace exposure.

The catch

Part of this route goes through a flight warning area

How we score routes

We score each route based on whether it flies near or through warning areas, how much longer it is, and how many reroute options exist — based on official flight warnings.

Some routes aren't covered yet — if yours is missing, that's a gap, not an assessment.

Scores compare route options; they are not safety ratings. Always check with your airline before booking.
