We're a party of three so that makes it extra hard (to rebook 3 pax on 4 flights).
I couldn't find any other plan that didn't involve more than 36 hours of flight time.
A very good result. Having the alternative airlines & route is always good
Keep all those EK and other boarding pass's. You should be able to put these flight to some ffp.
And then claim "original routing credit" for the flights you booked & paid for
