While you may not agree, it is up to you to resolve with EK.
I flew an itinerary last week. As a result of the 380 issue, aircraft was swapped for a 777. And a flight change to a 2-class service (instead of a 3-class). I was in revenue F.
As soon as I noticed via MYB (I received no notice from EK), I proactively set about changing the itinerary. The EK office let me make a date change and found me flights back on a 3-class 777 in F suites (which is all I wanted). There were no fees.
Should EK have been more proactive? Probably.
But then again - I wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth, given what I had paid for the fare. And don't tell me this is irrelevant. It is. They could have easily re-fared the entire journey (given travel hadn't commenced).
You still have plenty of time to cancel and obtain a refund if the flight options don't suit you...but I somehow sense that you want to take these flights regardless.
