Watchful · 58
Through a warning area · Moderate reroute options · Minimal extra time

The top option avoids the warning area this route crosses.

Strong frequency and rebooking depth via Emirates, but the LHR–DXB first leg crosses the active advisory zone. Best used as a backup when Istanbul is unavailable.

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.
