So British Airways and Lufthansa have suspended their flights into Cairo for a few days due to 'security risks'. Boarding a flight to Cairo tonight on a non western airline...bad idea?

Don’t go. Not worth the risk and sounds like you can easily skip it

luckily egypt is only a small part of the trip and I could just skip it and go on to the main destination, just unsure of what to do

Yes don’t go. Airlines are usually the last to cancel flights so there must be something highly probable

At least alert your firm’s security dept. They can help get you out if there’s trouble

But I agree with the “Don’t go” contingent. This job isn’t worth risking your life over.

Going for pleasure!

Def go its gonna be a movie, adventure time!

I am in the customer service and sales side of travel insurance, and I am looking for a new job, possibly in another field.

I was told that it had nothing to do with my performance. Any suggestions on how to obtain a position in another area? Such as going from strictly customer service and sales to advocate and claims? Thanks
