I've tried to find the answer to this but could not after a few searches. I've had the LAX-LHR leg cancelled in a CW itinerary in late September LAX-LHR-MAD. I could benefit from the added flexibility and as it's still over 4 months away, don't want to pick a new flight just yet. Is there any time limit before which I need to select my new flights? Or I could theoretically wait until a few days before the outbound leg to select my preferred flight?
Welcome to Flyertalk. I wouldn't leave it too long just in case flights fill up, but late September is quite a way off and as you only get one bite of the cherry there is often merit in leaving it until nearer the time. I often advocate people do not rush to do things the second a flight is changed. To give on example you may in th end decide not to travel and thus want a cash refund - if you have already rebooked then that option goes off the table. But maybe early August have another look at this.
