Azerbijan cancelled my flight

[freshfisch]

In July we booked a ticket to Israel from Kennedy on Azerbijan Airlines. Today, a week prior to the flight, Priceline called me and informed me that the airlines cancelled the flight and I can take a flight that lands on Shabbos, leaves on Shabbos, or take a refund  (of a very good one-way fare - $300 or so). Since the first two options are not relevant, and the third option would leave us with a good chunk of cash to lay out for this trip, what are we to do? This trip has to be when it is or a bit sooner as I'm going in order to hopefully help my daughter give birth and if I miss that, then be there for a bris. And I went to their website and it is apparently down.

Did you try calling the airline and getting switched to a flight that isnt on Shabbos?

Just got a call that my Dec 4th flight which is on Friday was canceled, on the phone with Priceline now.

Priceline will offer you your money back or possibly alternative dates. Those dates could well be for travel on Shabbos.

If those alternatives don't work and you had a well-priced ticket that you couldn't come close to now, call Azerbijan directly. They were very responsive.

You guys gotta leave the TA out here. It's an IRROP and in an IRROP situation is best to call the airline.

The airline was very accommodating and agreed to put us on any Turkish flight that day or the day before. Thanks for your help!
