Snippet:
Like many others, my travel plans were disrupted by the Middle East war. I’d booked through Virgin Australia to fly to Europe on Qatar Airlines. I hastily booked an alternate flight on Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong. Coincidentally, a friend had also booked a flight on the same day but directly with Qatar.
