Why book

Shortest journey — no connection, no hub risk. The trade-off is that the direct route crosses the Middle East advisory zone, and carrier options are limited to Lufthansa and Air India.

The catch

Part of this route goes through a flight warning area

Worth knowing

The entire direct route crosses the Middle East advisory zone. Monitor advisory escalation. Lufthansa and Air India are the only direct carriers — rebooking to a connection may be necessary if disrupted.
