How is it flying with Emirates in mid to end of 2026? Planning my yearly trip but hesitant.

I recently had to cancel April my flight with Emirates due to the ongoing conflict. I was really sad because I missed my best friend‘s wedding, now I’m re-planning towards the holiday end of the year, but unsure whether Emirates should be the best choice.

I have always flown through Emirates and would like to be with them again and again, but the current conflict is making me doubtful. Emirates was great and offered a full refund 30 days before my travel date. But when I canceled my flight with Emirates, every other mediocre airline was too expensive to fly with.

I don’t want to be in the same situation again towards the end of the year. My friends and family are suggesting Turkish airline but I do not like them. Does anyone have any recent travel experiences /advice?
