No communication about flight Cancellation, when website says sold out

Just found today the my family return flight from Tokyo was cancelled without reason. No communication was had. I booked the flight way back in April 2022, and there is still 4 months to the date in January. Plus they changed our direct flight from Gold Coast to Tokyo, now we have to stop in Cairns. I am so annoyed how there was no commination or real reason why the cancelled the flight. Anyone having this trouble now?

Yes mine was also changed

Yes mine was also changed without telling me. I paid to fly direct to Tokyo with the family start of December and they rebooked us on a flight to Cairns then onto Narita. I have done this route before and its awful the 4 hour lay over in Cairns. I was so angry that I only found out because I logged onto Jetstar to check times. The chat service rep tried to get me to take a 7am flight a few days later but I said it doesnt work for us and only offered crap alternatives. Got a refund for the travel to Tokyo and kept the return flight. Then I rebooked direct again leaving a few days before original booking so I could go direct. Seems they trying to dump direct route.

So I was out of pocket another $3 k before the other flights came back onto my credit card. I am sick to my stomach thinking they will cancel day of flight but looking at other airlines its thousands of dollars extra and I have already booked hotels and rail passes so dont really have the capacity to chnage airlines! We have insurance but I just dont know with some flights the way they cancel it and say " flight crew issues" which have had before or " maintenance issue which werent covered. Its all very stressful ! I have promised hubby this is last straw for booking Jetstar
