Transit rules depend on your specific routing, so check the country you connect through separately, or analyse your full itinerary.
You're travelling to Iraq (IQ). Your home cellular plan may or may not include data abroad — check your carrier's international options before you fly. An eSIM is a low-commitment alternative if your plan doesn't cover the destination or charges high roaming rates.
The US State Department publishes these advisories for your route. Iraq: Level 4 — Do Not Travel (as of 2026-03-02). This is the State Department's highest advisory. Consular help may be limited or unavailable; review the country page and confirm your insurance covers the situation before committing. This is a US State Department safety perspective, not an entry or boarding rule — it doesn't affect whether you can board, only what to be aware of on the ground. Travellers from other countries should also check their own government's advisory.
