This was not a one-off event—look forward to more flights on Thursday, though be aware, that flight's already fully booked!

Eager to cross the border to Jordan on their own steam, Germans bent on escaping Israel's turmoil can capitalize on other European countries organizing caravans to provide escort for their citizens. The Foreign Office urges every German to sign up on its crisis preparedness list, Elefand, citing it as a critical step to access these special flights now available out of Jordan.
But wait! This isn't exactly an organized repatriation or evacuation effort. In fact, our sources assure us the flights are "commercial special flights," stemming from the scarcity of commercial flight options due to the region's turmoil securing regular air travel [1]. This, of course, doesn't mean your stay will be a cushy ride—these flights will carry on until local conditions improve enough to accommodate commercial air travel again.
What about those stuck in Iran? Fear not! Germans seeking refuge in Iran can opt for a bit of overland exploration to make their way to the neighboring countries of Armenia and Turkey. Here, borders remain open—just the trick to access commercial flights bound for Deutschland [2]. For those who fancy taking a more adventurous route, consider reaching Azerbaijan's border. One can continue their journey to Germany through commercial flights from there as well [2]. Can't say it's a traditional holiday route, but hey, who asked for a war, huh?
