Cancelled flight - advice please
Cathay has just cancelled the first leg of our RTW trip to commence in Oct. They seem to have pushed us to the next flight which is a day later and now stops in north Australia (as opposed to the original domestic flight). The earlier and later flights don't suit our plans.
Just wondering what our rights are here given we are 3 months away from flying and though we haven't got an immediate connecting flight or booked accommodation yet, we would like to get some recompense.
Neither of us are Cathay FF, however we have flown business on Cathay for work.
I appreciate your help!

What is your route?
The best you can get is to leave a day earlier, or have your ticket rerouted by CX to get you to your destination on the same day on another OW carrier.
No compensation due as the 'notice' was given to you way in advance of your original travel date.
