Definitely keeping calm.

I know I will not have a direct anymore, 30 hours and 2 connections is out of the question though.

Possibly HUCA is going to get a different result here but I think it is going to have to go to a supervisor. The only one connection flight within +/- 1 day is via Munich, so they're going to want to add more fees (I already paid $800 in fees on this ticket), plus it has a 9am departure from Moscow.

With the hell that is Moscow traffic (can be traffic jams at 3am) it means departing minimally at 5am in order to get onto a 9am flight at DME.

I suggested Swiss as I know, no extra fees, plus they have a good overnight flight to BKK, and I could depart in the afternoon from Moscow.

*Edit*: looks like Swiss also leaves at 9am so that is no win, argh.

Schedules can change I think on the ticket legal language is about just that, changing schedules. If they would have told me about this 3 months earlier when it happened then I'd have had more "a la carte" options to pick from as well and maybe not be in this situation.

So I think they should do something, or I hope they will anyway, as there are no decent options.

They suggested going through Cairo (would have me leaving the day before too) but I have not experienced Egyptair and I have zero desire to go through Cairo.
