One passport, one decision date, one budget line. Everything else is already handled — this page exists so you stop carrying it in your head.
The tracker isn't accurate, so it doesn't count as an answer. Only a human — phone or counter — moves the needle. Log both, but they're weighted differently below.
When you go in person, ask three things and write the answers here: why is it still pending, what date will it issue, and who is telling me this. A name and a date is what makes a follow-up work.
Nothing here needs the passport except the last block. That's deliberate.
Decide now, while you're calm, what your 1 September self does. Then that day is execution, not agonising.
A and B both contain 26 September. C is what happens if it all goes wrong — it's on the page so it stops being an unknown.
Fly out the 18th so the remote-work days absorb the travel. Needs the passport in hand, or a firm issue date, by 1 September.
Shifts everything one week later. Early October often prices lower than mid-September, so check it even if Plan A survives.
Passport lands after 20 Sept and the fares have gone. You go in October instead. This is the worst realistic outcome and it costs you a date, not the trip.
Nine vacation days against a thirteen-day window. Click any day to cycle it: vacation → remote work → travel → off. This is the table you paste into the letter once the dates are real.
No page can pull live fares — airlines block it. So check once a day, log the number, and read the trend instead of guessing at it. Tick "changeable" when the fare you found can be moved, so the tool can price your flexibility.
Your rule isn't "Gulf carriers" — it's "no transit visa on a Moroccan passport." That's what rules Istanbul and the European hubs out, and it's the filter to apply to every fare you find.
Re-check the transit rule for anything not on this list before you book it, and prefer a single ticket end to end — splitting carriers is what forces you landside and into visa territory.
Reference, so you stop re-checking them at 1am.
The exact size of the downside, written down. It's smaller than it feels at 1am.
