Why can't I find any flights to Afghanistan or Iraq?

Question

Without signing up with the British Armed Forces, is it possible to get a flight out to these two countries from Britian?

I don't want to go there for a holiday, I'm just thinking about the Iraqi's and Afghan's that live in England and want to go back out to their countries to see their family.

Answer 1

maybe because theres a war going on in both of them courtries so  the people there might think ur smugglining bombs or weapons

Answer 2

I take my family there for a 2 week holiday every year, the people are so friendly, especially in the mountains on the Pakistan border. Mind you they do look at you a bit funny when we go skinny dipping in their pristine  swimming pools. there are a few drawbacks though, there aint no pubs and me and Marlene like to dance a bit, you know, but there's no dance halls. they keep nicking my hire car, it used to belong to the East India Company, but they always bring it back, the village mayor tells 'em to. We're off again next month, we're taking our own tea, coffee and pop for the kids this time. We fly to Islamabad and do the rest of the journey by camel, not f**s you twerp, real camels.

Answer 3

They are called warzones.

Answer 4

I shouldn't think there is a huge market for flights to Iraq or Afghanistan. . .

Answer 5

you have to call the airports for that info

Answer 6

It's probably due to the Iraq/ Afganistan War.

You'll probably find that flights to iran is/will be stopped.

And about the people who come to Britain, they will be fine. They got all the amenities they need here and if they want to go home, they will arrange transport.

It's noting to worry about IMO.

Answer 7

The mother of one of the children I work with has just returned from a visit to her family in northern Iraq. (They are Iraqi Kurds) I don't know if she was able to fly direct though.

Answer 8

It's  a war zone not a vacation destination.

Answer 9

I wish they would !!

Answer 10

all the flights are there

Answer 11

You can't fly direct from Britain.  I mean, seriously, DUH!!!

I imagine it's possible to fly to a neighboring country and then arrange transportation...whether that is another short flight, or on the ground.
