I am with you on this, and was also flying during that period on the same routes with same carrier,s, weren't those jets quiet !. In all honesty I have, and will continue to fly over areas subject to low level military action like Chad, Iraq, Afghan etc. In fact you could say most of central Africa is a war zone of some sort, and yet I fly over that on a regular basis. I think I maybe more concerned with the carriers maintenance and or weather than being shot down fromFL30+. That said, as we all know, Russia has how shall we say "form" in doing this. My brother in law was flying back from Shanghai with KLM on Friday and I must admit that I did track his flight a number of times during the day. He said the crew were all talking about it when he popped into the galley.
I am out bound early next week to Tokyo which will also be over Russian air space obviously, will I go?, of course I will.
