If your flight is cancelled by CX, I am wondering whether you can change to another departure date free of charge, or request for rerouting?

I have heard some passengers on HK Express forced to accept a new flight and there's no refund option available.

I don't think that's the CX way.

And, it's interesting that the home country has lots of jet fuel available.
