yes, sounds like we are in the same boat here. 24 hours is cutting it wayyyy too close but what other option do we have?

that said, I called the USA office and they seemed perfectly willing to rebook me on oman air straight away. but they didnt offer me the flights i wanted, so i declined for the moment and am hoping the qatar office (which approved my desired routing, just refused to do it till t-24) will play ball.
