Yabba Dabba Doo! No Fly Zone Blues Got Me Grounded!

Great Gazoo's Got Me Grounded!

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from Bedrock where things are usually pretty stable ya know except when Dino decides to 'redecorate' the living room! But now I'm hearin' that all the fancy bird powered air o planes are havin' a real rocky time over in the Middle East. Seems like someone's been throwin' more than just rocks and the airlines are sayin' 'Hold on there Fred! No fly!'.

Delta Ditches Tel Aviv… Until September?!

I hear tell that Delta Air Lines them fancy flyers are cancellin' their trips to Tel Aviv faster than I can say 'Bronto Burgers!' They just started flyin' there again and BAM! Now they're sayin' they ain't goin' back till September! September! That's like a whole lotta Barney Rubble jokes away. They were even plannin' on doin' more trips because of the winter rush but now phooey! Seems like somebody yelled "Yabba Dabba Don't!"

United's Got the Runaround Blues!

And don't even get me started on United Airlines! They're puttin' the brakes on their Tel Aviv trips all the way through July. July I tell ya! That's almost as long as it takes Wilma to pick out a new outfit! They claim it's for safety first which I get ya know gotta keep those customers from bein' turned into stone age roadkill! But get this! They had to ship 26 of their own crew back on El Al. Now that's what I call rock bottom!

El Al? More Like 'El...Al ready Grounded!'

Speaking of El Al they're groundin' their own birds! Sayin' the sky ain't safe no sirree! They ain't takin' no more bookings till the end of June and are yellin' at folks not to even bother showin' up at the airport. Imagine tellin' folks to stay AWAY from the airport! That's like tellin' me there ain't no ribs at the Water Buffalo Lodge meeting! They're tellin' everyone to find a comfy cave to crash in 'til things cool off. Sounds like a vacation in Bedrock... almost!

Turkey Germany and Even Emirates Chickened Out!

It ain't just the American birds that are scared neither! Turkish Airlines them cheap European birds at Wizz Air and even them fancy German Lufthansa fellas! Everyone's cancelin' their flights faster than I can polish my bowling ball! Even Emirates is playin' it safe cancelin' flights all around those countries. Looks like everyone's takin' the long way around to avoid a rocky landing.

Rock Bottom Travel Plans and Pricey Detours

So what does this all mean folks? It means longer trips higher prices and a whole lotta unhappy campers! The airlines are handin' out travel vouchers like they're Pebbles' pacifiers but it ain't the same as a smooth flight ya know? This whole mess is makin' my head spin faster than Dino chasin' a butterfly. I just hope they figure things out soon so everyone can get where they're goin' without havin' to dodge a rock or two! Yabba Dabba Doo... or Don't depending on your flight status!
