How much? I am writing this column on Saturday night in my hotel in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. News reports say that more Iranian missiles and drones have struck Abu Dhabi. This is relevant to me because I have a Sunday evening flight to the UAE capital, with a connection to London Heathrow.
The Boeing 787 that is currently scheduled to operate the flight is currently on its way from Manila to Abu Dhabi. Assuming it gets in, there will be a quick turnaround for an overnight flight to Jakarta. But what if military action scuppers the schedule? That is why I have been checking the alternatives.
