Qatar flight change email, "unable to rebook you"

Hello all,
My wife and I are in paid business class SIN-DOH-PHL on Dec 23 and this morning I woke up to an email saying there's been a change and to call. The second leg is the one missing in the app. Before I call I checked flights and the DOH-PHL leg is still being sold in economy but not business.
Did QR/AA oversell the business cabin and select us for downgrade/cancel? I know there are subscribers to EF that might be able to check.

QR is stopping it's PHL-DOH flight in October. You should look for alternatives on your own, then call in to be moved to the specific flights you want. There is an AA option for DOH-PHL direct, but you can consider other options too if that's your preference.

Did you buy the ticket through AA or through QR? And were you booked on the QR flight to PHL (which no longer exists) or the AA flight?

I purchased SIN-DOH-PHL through AA back in February, all on QR metal. AA codeshare was like 1/2 the price of QR even on the QR planes.

Good to know, it looks like on Dec 24 there is a nonstop but not on my day the 23rd according to Google flights. I will start doing some research

I believe that it is up to AA to rebook you. I'm showing AA121 (QR9001) DOH-PHL (Departing 8:55am arriving 3:25pm) on 12/23/23 available, J7W7Y7

I’d ask for the DOH-JFK on QR, with DOH-PHL now being AA metal it’s only useful for economy passengers who like pain and I suppose redemptions for those who don’t know any better. I would not accept a change from QSuites on QR to AA J absent like an 80% refund

I asked and received a change to DOH-JFK, which are QSuites, and even though it was a city change and the "eReceipt" shows a charge, I was not billed anything, presumably because this was due to their schedule change. I'm just not used to seeing an amount when DL does rebookings.
Gerbs and S80 like this.
