Over the past three months … I’ve discouraged any of my family and friends from even going near the US … even to get transit flights
Want to fly to Asia? … get a direct flight, pay extra, don’t land in the US on your way there or back
Want to go to Europe? … get a direct flight, pay extra, don’t even think of landing in the US
Want to go to the US? … forget it! … go to Asia or Europe instead!
I’m in Canada in Ontario and my cousins are in France right now enjoying a month long holiday there. They had originally planned to take cheaper flights connecting through New York from Toronto. I spent about a month hounding them to get them to rebook and avoid landing in New York. As the headlines got worse and worse in the US, they finally agreed and paid a bit extra and flew direct from Montreal instead. Even their return flight was originally supposed to be through New York but they changed that too to fly direct back to Canada.
If I want to go from Australia to Europe, I’m probably going through Canada or Mexico. Don’t really want to go through the UAE either, or over (self-proclaimed) Israeli airspace.
You can fly to Singapore or Thailand and avoid both middle east and Israel. However, they might use Israeli airspace if operational conditions require it.
From a safety point of view they avoid conflict zones. From an ethical point of view, shorter route is more environmentally friendly and there is no ethical consumption, really.
From Perth, there are also direct flights to Europe.
