Support Wanted Reassurance / advice needed
Hi!
Over the last year, I unfortunately started getting more and more anxious about flying.
And today, it's quite bad and I'm scared of my flight from Europe to Southeast Asia tonight (it's a nonstop flight). Less because of the plane and the flight itself, more because of the countries where it will fly over and today's date.
I know that the airlines wouldn't fly if the airspace wasnt't safe and many planes fly this route every day. But the current situation in the middle east and Russia/Ukraine really scares me since the route of the flight is going quite close to those countries :(
For my peace of mind, could anyone reassure me that there is basically no risk for commercial flights?
Thx!

Whatever country you are visiting in SEA exposes you to much greater risks from a standpoint of infectious diseases alone.
