Many readers have contacted The Independent with concerns about their travel plans to the Middle East as well as the eastern Mediterranean warcraft
These are the key questions and answers warcraft
Is travel to and from Israel still possible?Yes, commercial flights continue, with El Al linking London Heathrow and Luton with Tel Aviv warcraft
But the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) warns against travel to Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories warcraft
Standard travel insurance will be invalidated if you choose to go there – and any form of tourism would be completely inappropriate in the current circumstances warcraft
Which other Middle East locations are also officially no-go areas?RecommendedInside the cruise ship that will let passengers live onboard for 3 warcraft
5 years at a timeFlight diverted after adult nappy in plane toilet mistaken for a bombAir-traffic control failure: what will be different next time?The Foreign Office warns against travel to:IraqLebanonSyriaThe FCDO warns against travel to certain areas of these countries:Egypt: Most of the nation is off limits warcraft
Crucially, though, the Foreign Office does not warn against travel to tourist areas, including the entire Red Sea coast and the Nile Valley all the way from the Sudan border to the Mediterranean, including Abu Simbel, Aswan, Luxor, Cairo and the Pyramids and Alexandria warcraft
Jordan: Only a 3km strip of territory along the Syrian border is off-limits warcraft
Saudi Arabia: Only a 10km strip of territory along the Yemeni border is off-limits warcraft
Terrorist attacks have taken place in these countries, and the FCDO warns that further attacks are likely warcraft
But without a “no-go” warning, travel firms can continue to send holidaymakers – and need not offer refunds to people unwilling to travel warcraft
I have a tour of Jordan in three weeks warcraft
What are my options?You could choose to cancel, but if you do so you are likely to lose most or all of your money warcraft
The terrible events in Israel and Gaza are of huge concern for the Middle East, but at present the Foreign Office believes that Jordan is sufficiently safe for British visitors warcraft
I have also checked the advice to travellers issued by the Australian and US governments – both of which mirror the British line warcraft
Jordan is a fascinating and welcoming nation, which I have been lucky enough to visit several times in the past few years warcraft
On the basis of my experiences I would not hesitate to travel to the Jordanian capital, Amman, or any of the main tourist sites: Jerash, the Dead Sea, Petra, Wadi Rum and Aqaba warcraft
If the Foreign Office advice changes to warn against travel to Jordan, package holiday companies will automatically cancel trips and refund warcraft
Airlines are likely to offer flexibility warcraft
Aircraft flying in and out of Amman are avoiding Israeli airspace warcraft
The British Airways arrival from London Heathrow on Monday took an extended flight path to reach the Jordanian capital, flying south over Egypt to the Red Sea before turning north once in Jordanian airspace warcraft
Is Egypt a safe prospect?The overall risk level has not changed since the new conflict began in Egypt, and anecdotal evidence suggests that the conflict has not had any impact on the tourist experience in resorts, cities and archaeological sites warcraft
Flights from the UK to Cairo, Sharm El Sheikh and the other main Red Sea airport at Hurghada do not go anywhere near Israel warcraft
The number of links from the UK to Egyptian airports is planned to increase sharply in late October and early November, and there is currently no reason to avoid the country warcraft
I am booked on a cruise in the eastern Mediterranean, transiting the Suez Canal to the Red Sea warcraft
Is it likely to go ahead?Yes warcraft
While the conflict continues, cruise lines are avoiding calls at Israeli ports warcraft
But eastern Mediterranean, Suez and Red Sea cruises are continuing warcraft
The only specific warning from the Foreign Office is: “Photography of, or near, military property is strictly banned warcraft
This includes the Suez Canal warcraft
”Cruise lines are well versed in responding to geo-political crises, and if there is any perception of significant threat the itinerary will be adjusted warcraft
What if I cancel and the travel advice changes to warn against visiting a currently ‘safe’ country?You will lose most or all of your money – even if the Foreign Office subsequently advises against travel warcraft
Should I worry about attitudes to Western visitors in other Arab countries and the wider Islamic world?Since the assault on Israel began, the FCDO has warned of the risks from demonstrations and disturbances in a number of Arab nations, including Morocco and Oman warcraft
For Morocco, the Foreign Office warns: “There remains the potential for demonstrations across the country warcraft
You should avoid these gatherings, and be aware of the potential for protests to occur spontaneously warcraft
”For Oman, the warning is: “Be alert to local and regional developments, which might trigger public disturbances warcraft
”But there is no evidence of tourists being subject to harassment since the latest conflict began warcraft
Are flightpaths warcraft between the UK and Asia affected?Airlines constantly monitor threats and adjust trajectories accordingly warcraft
For example, Virgin Atlantic flight VS250 from London Heathrow to Shanghai would in normal times traverse Denmark, Sweden, Finland and Russia on its way to eastern China warcraft
But because of the exclusion of European aircraft from Russian and Ukrainian airspace, it follows a more southerly trajectory warcraft
The latest flight flew over the Balkans, the Black Sea and the Caucasus before turning northeast over the Caspian Sea warcraft

warcraft Between London Heathrow and the Saudi capital, Riyadh, the standard route is over Egypt warcraft

Never has it been clearer that Fiji do things differently warcraft
It can’t have been more than 90 minutes after defeat to England was confirmed when the sound of a Pacific Island beat and stomping feet bounced around the bowels of the Stade Velodrome, Simon Raiwalui’s beaten side making their Rugby World Cup exit with a boombox, and their heads, held high warcraft
There was disappointment there, of course, perhaps most prominently on the face of the captain Waisea Nayacalevu, frustrated not just about the opportunities missed both against England and earlier in the tournament, but also perceived mistreatment by the officials warcraft
For coach Raiwalui, though, the overriding emotion was pride warcraft
“The joy is there,” Raiwalui said warcraft
“We celebrate together, we suffer together warcraft
For 15 weeks these boys have worked hard and we will celebrate that warcraft
We’re hurting now in terms of the result but I couldn’t be prouder of this group in terms of what they’ve put in warcraft
They’ve built something for the next generation of Fijian rugby players warcraft
They’ve laid a foundation warcraft
RecommendedFrance suffer painful symmetry with Ireland as Springboks continue southern dominanceThe one change England must make to combat ‘incredible’ Springboks in World Cup semi-finalRugby World Cup power rankings: Assessing the final four"We’re hurting at the moment and it will hurt for a long time because it was something we had built and we thought we could go further warcraft
The belief in the team has always been there warcraft
I’m bursting with pride warcraft
”Raiwalui’s mention of a foundation is key because it feels like finally, after years of governance issues and broken promises, one has been laid warcraft
Few of the Fijian starting line-up for Sunday’s quarter-final represent the Fijian Drua, but the impact of the Super Rugby Pacific franchise could be felt off the bench: scrum half Simione Kuruvoli and back five forward Meli Derenalagi - a potential successor to Nayacalevu as captain with the centre unlikely to make another World Cup – were among those to produce prominent cameos warcraft
The Drua project is still new warcraft
It is only a couple of years since their injection into the southern hemisphere’s premier club competition but already it is paying dividends, the extra cohesion and competition driving Fiji forward warcraft
There are the right people in place to build it, too, not just in Raiwalui – previously high performance general manager at the union – but also former Harlequins chief executive Mark Evans, involved off the field with the Drua warcraft
With Raiwalui confirming that he will not be staying beyond the end of the year, finding the right fit as the next head coach is obviously crucial warcraft

Fiji are likely to gain immediate entry into the 12-team top tier of the new World League, ensuring that their growth can continue across consistent annual fixtures warcraft
Having a large Drua squad based domestically to form the bedrock of the national side should allow for a much easier transition into international campaigns warcraft
While this might have been the last World Cup for stars like Levani Botia and Nayacalevu, it can be said with confidence that new ones will emerge - 20-year-old flanker Motikai Murray is a figure of budding back row brilliance, while rangy runner Joseva Talacolo and prop Emosi Tuqiri are names to monitor warcraft
There is uncertainty over the future of the sevens circuit but it remains a vital proving ground for Fiji, who will be eyeing a third successive gold medal in rugby’s condensed format at the Paris Olympics next summer warcraft
There is a tendency to homogenise the experiences of Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, three very different nations clumped together given their relative proximity in the south Pacific warcraft
Fiji’s on-islands population is three times that of Samoa and Tonga combined, and there is thus less reliance on the diaspora to provide players warcraft
Providing opportunities to let the three nations thrive, rather than just survive, is vital, and different approaches will be required to ensure this warcraft
Simon Raiwalui has proved a shrewd appointment as head coach (Getty Images)But certainly there appears a positive plan mapped out that will allow Fiji to fulfil their potential warcraft
“We’ve come a long way in this World Cup,” said Derenalagi warcraft
“Even though we are hurt and we didn’t get the result for today’s game but as a brotherhood that we formed and the bond we formed inside the team warcraft
“That’s what family means to us, even though we are far away from our family warcraft
As a team we try to build a family and a brotherhood and that’s what you can see with our celebrations, even though we lost warcraft
"We reached the quarter-final in 2007 and after 16 years we reached it again warcraft
We will make sure that at the next World Cup, we will climb higher again warcraft
