Travel chaos: Here's what to do if your flight to or from the Middle East is cancelled 

As of Monday, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria and the UAE were among the nations that announced at least partial closures of their skies.

Military operations by the US and Israel in Iran are causing travel chaos for some passengers due to flying to or from various airports in the region.

Many travellers to and from the Middle East, whose plans are now uncertain, are scrambling to work out what rights they have and what they should do next.
