But…don’t Qantas have to find you an alternative flight ?

It’s an EK booking. Nothing to do with Qantas.

FWIW, this afternoon I cancelled a paid UL J booking from DXB to KUL for next month

It will cost me money (I've switched to BA LHR-KUL), but I'm not going near the ME for the foreseeable future.

better be safe and also avoid possible delays if stuck in Middle East as well - we wont know how long this war will last

It doesn’t look like the option to refund is available online via manage booking, has to be done via the link.
