In cases like this the airline is within their rights to offer a full refund if any alternative is not acceptable.
Assuming CX's liability assuming CX's CoC prevails because the GF flight was issued on CX paper, don't they have to buy the QR space?

10.2.2 Except as otherwise provided by the Warsaw Convention or the Montreal Convention or applicable law, if we cancel a flight, fail to operate a flight reasonably according to the schedule, fail to stop at your destination or Stopover destination, or cause you to miss a connecting flight on which you hold a confirmed reservation, we shall, at your option, either:
10.2.2.1 carry you at the earliest opportunity on another of our scheduled services on which space is available without additional charges and; where necessary, extend the validity of your Ticket; or
10.2.2.2 within a reasonable period of time re-route you to the destination shown on your Ticket by our own services or those of another Carrier, or by other mutually agreed means and class of transportation without additional charge. If the fare, and charges for the revised routing are lower than what you have paid, we shall refund the difference;
10.2.2.3 or make a refund in accordance with the provisions of Article 11;
I had a previous discussion on 10.2.2.2 before http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/catha...l#post25040951 and in that case the OP couldn't rely of it because prior agreement of CX not sought before OP in that case rerouted himself?

But in this case, does CX have any right not to agree to QR rerouting?
