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.

Yes you're right. Thanks.
It's still there, just not so obvious.

We're flying EK SIN to FCO on the 5th June, booked last year. At the moment we have a 17hr layover but looking to change that to a 2-5hr one instead.
Have been hanging out for EK to extend the free change window but not looking too likely that'll happen unfortunately...

Ended up cancelling, rebooking with a 2hr layover one way in whY, and then getting 4x J rewards back to Melbourne.

Likewise, cancelled my EY with stopover abu Dhabi and rebooked earliest connecting flight out. No longer my idea of a holiday place.
