Also, a change in equipment under International General Rules allows for a customer to change their flight, free of any fees.

AREA: ZZ TARIFF: IPRGCXR: AARULE: 0002

Furthermore, a refund or change without penalty at option to the passenger is in order when there is more than 60 total minutes in change to arrival and/or departure time. Let me know if you want the for that.

Why are you posting in the EK forum then?

This gets even worse.
I got an email today with a new eticket without any information that there has been a change in my flights.
Instead of leaving on an early morning flight, I now have to leave the night before to make my connection to EK15
The change in times means that I now have a 8 hr transit at DXB rather than a 2 hr transit. :-(

I'd be astounded if they take a 388 off that route. On my flight every single seat- upstairs and downstairs- was occupied.

. However as I got older and hopefully wiser I have realised that there are more important things in life.

At least with 8 hours, you should be able to get a hotel room for the time if you want to - definitely really sucky connection though

Seems to be a lot of cancellations and amendments going on at the moment.

Not too sure if it's worth leaving the airport at this busy period. I'll probably book an airside hotel .

Worth the transit hotel if you can't stay with your relations here

Can you please post the link to this paragraph and the International General Rules?
All I could find is, unfortunately, a contradictory sentence in the Contact of Carriage:
5.5 Aircraft
5.5.1 We will try to provide the aircraft specified in our timetable (or specified to you at the time of issue of your Ticket) for your carriage, but cannot guarantee any particular aircraft will be used. We can change the aircraft on which you will be carried, whether for operational, safety, security reasons or otherwise.
5.5.2 Very occasionally, it may be necessary for us temporarily to supplement our fleet with aircraft operated for us by another airline. If this applies to any aircraft on which you are due to be carried by us, we will inform you of the identity of the operator of the aircraft, or try to ensure that our Authorised Agents give you such information. We will try also to ensure that you receive the same level of in-flight service and entertainment advertised for your flight, but cannot guarantee that this will always be possible.

Per Emirates...
C85(a)(2)
Then look at applicable:
C90(B)(1)
C90(B)(1)(A)
It is very clear here. And if you look, its under "Involuntary" refunds. Thats because it is an International rule regarding commercial aviation.

These items are irrelevent to the original posted item about being entitled to cancel should the airline change the type of aeroplane
If there is a cancellation of a flight, then indeed a passenger is entitled to a refund - though under EK's CoC , not AA's ( as posted )
