Just received an e-mail from DL advising that "there had been an update to my itinerary". My new route is:

CDG-ATL -- DL21 1:30p - 5:40p, on the 763
ATL-XXX - DL 7:00p


A quick ITA search shows AF688 is now zeroed out for the day of my travel.

This is unacceptable to me for a couple reasons. 1) the TATL 763 is an inferior product, and I specifically booked AF metal to avoid it, and 2) this leaves me with an 80 minute int'l to domestic connection with checked bags in ATL (not gonna happen, I'm in Y and I'm not DM). The next flight home doesn't take off until 10p.

What are my options here? Am I SOL, stuck on the 763 and doomed to take the much later flight home?
