Well, I'll try to rebook and see what happens.
It seems they have moved me over to an American Airlines flight five minutes earlier.
I'm trying to decide whether I should just accept this, or try to get something else.
But when I log into the website, the two choices are "Request Refund" and "Acknowledge Changes". "Look for another flight" is not on offer, at least not on the initial screen.
ETA - and the American Airlines flight comes with a substantially reduced number of Q-Points, relative to the QR flight. I don't know whether I can argue for the extra Q-Points.
ETA even more - OK, they have moved me to 29 JUN 0:55 JFK -> DOH 29 JUN 21:00 and 30 JUN 2:35 DOH -> SIN 30 JUN 15:45, with the first flight being AA and the second being QR. I would prefer 29 JUN 10:35 JFK -> DOH 30 JUN 6:10 and 1 JUL 2:35 DOH -> SIN 1 JUL 15:45, with both flights being QR. But this is not offered at the website, the only choices are refund or accept the AA flight. If I call them on the telephone, will they be more flexible?
