my point is the cost is not overly exorbitant. It takes no more than 5 mins to book and can be done a couple of hours before the flight. Hardly the greatest obstacle to overcome for the vast majority of passengers.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-01-21/u-s-weighs-evacuating-diplomats-family-members-from-ukraine. Posted this on another forum, but it feels like war. 

Lads need to be clever here. I wouldn't go booking any sort of flights to Ukraine, regardless of where it might be played there, or "its" not near the trouble. I was going to Georgia in 2008 when the game was switched to "Mainz" so all my flights to Georgia had to be cancelled due to an "ACT OF WAR", and I got FCK ALL money back on Angry- your travel insurance I'm positive won't cover you if the area is in a war state.. We were due to fly from Tbilisi to Hungary and then onto Montenegro, but they had to be cancelled too.

Ended up paying for an extra flight to Serbia from Frankfurt, train to Podgorica. Then paid for another  flight from there to Frankfurt Hahn with 10 hours on the floor, and lastly another Ryainair flight  home to Dublin which I paid for. Enough said !!! AngryAngryAngry

As tensions continue to escalate in Ukraine, some European airlines have begun to switch flight times to Kyiv to avoid aircraft parked overnight.

Very little chance of this going ahead in Ukraine. This is a lot more volatile than the Georgia conflict in 08 when match was switched to Mainz - the Georgian FA were raging if I recall and we even hosted them in a home friendly as ‘compensation’ for pushing for the neutral venue. 

This is on a different scale. There’s no merit in booking even if it is free cancellation as flight times will change impacting stopovers and there won’t be any demand for flights any time soon so your cash is just tied up in flights you’re unlikely to use.
