I just got a flight change notification for my LONE5 ex-JNB departing in October. My 3rd leg, EZE-xSCL-IPC is what changed, now leaving me with a 11+ hour layover in SCL I'd love to avoid. What's the best way to handle a pre-departure flight change like this? I obviously don't want to go through repricing, but would love to have get a better fix in place sooner rather than later.

• Original: EZE-SCL-IPC with a 4:45 layover, arriving 22:15 (EZE-SCL LA450 appears to have now ceased for that date)
• Changed to: EZE-SCL-IPC with an 11:15 layover, arriving 22:15
• Option 1: EZE-SCL-IPC with a 1:55 layover, arriving 12:55 (different SCL-IPC flight, which doesn’t show up as available in the online tool)
• Option 2: AEP-SCL-IPC with a 3:40 layover, arriving 22:15 (different departing airport; causing a 17th segment)
• Option 3: Wait until post-departure to try to fix this...

What should I expect Qantas (booking carrier) to be able to do here? My preference would be Option 1, but Option 2 would also be better than the current itinerary. Everything in this section is LA metal. Thank you!!
