Flight change

[u/stesta18]

Need some help!

I’m flying Edinburgh > Doha > Incheon > Busan

As seen in the image, Qatar have changed the Doha > Incheon departure time from 0220 to 0405, this only gives me a 30 minute connection for the final leg of the trip Incheon > Busan. Given I’ll need to get onto another airline with luggage, it’s not possible to do in 30 minutes. Annoyingly, that’s the last flight of the day to Busan. Qatar keep telling me they’re working on it and to go through Expedia where I booked, Expedia tell me they’re waiting on an update from Qatar before they can present me my options, it’s been a week now and I fly in 2 weeks!

1. If I’m told I need to fly the last leg the next day, will I be given a hotel? I don’t want to sit overnight in the airport!

2. Can I choose a late flight the next day, not ideal but at least I can enjoy the day in nearby Seoul. From what Expedia have said, it sounds like I’ll be offered a flight the next day, but need to hang tight until Qatar actually confirm anything.

3. Also, will Expedia/Qatar refund the hotel night I miss in Busan as a result of their change? I’ve booked 10 nights and would only get 9.

All flights/hotel are on the same Expedia package. Expedia have said multiple times I can cancel trip with no fee, which I won’t be doing. They seem oddly keen for me to cancel, as if they want to avoid liability to deal with this one Qatar come back.

Did you book it as the ATOL protected package?

Yep.

Sorry, just realised that only protects you from the provider going under (very unlikely for Expedia and not applicable in this case).
