Stuck in Dubai

We have been in Dubai since the 14th March and have had 3 weeks lockdown and not been out at all.


We are well staying with family. Emirates cancelled our flight for 13th April with very little correspondence afterwards.


We feel safe here, however our travel insurance only covers 45 days.


Soooo we need to find a flight, get on a plane with people who may have the virus.


Instead of going to Gatwick, we have to fly into Heathrow and then get a taxi or train home. Does this make sense?

Hi Susie what a damn mess! You may be better staying put if possible as you will be in lockdown here too. More importantly, you do not want to risk catching this horrendous virus.

Susie I would definitely stay in Dubai and not risk coming back. Just sit it out for a few months
