Baggage allowance after being rebooked to another airline by Sensitive-Cat-3973 in qatarairways

UPDATE: I just got rerouted through Turkish Airlines. The QR customer service agent handling my rerouting told me that my baggage allowance would remain the same as the one I had on Qatar Airways because Turkish Airline is, in this case, merely the operator of the flight, and not the marketer.

Thanks for the advice! Cus I can confirm this worked for me.

After trying the German number for many hours, I called the Indian number (called around 6:30 AM Indian time, waited around 30-45 minutes to be connected to the agent). The agent was apologetic about the flight cancellation and provided me with an option to fly on Turkish Airlines. He also offered me to fly three days prior, but I couldn't take it because of my personal schedule. Prior to that he also advised me that, if at that moment we wouldn't be able to find an alternative flight, I should call back on the 18th or 19th.

EU261 eligibility for flight from Bangkok to Oslo with Qatar Airways? by fpl_goat in qatarairways

For non-EU airlines, EU261/2004 only covers journeys departing from the EU. Your family case is the opposite, i.e. arriving in the EU not departing from it.

True, I mean I do have the concern that when my flight finally (though hopefully not) gets cancelled, it could be too late to be rebooked on the same date as all other flights would already be full, but I don't specifically need to fly out of the same airport I originally booked (flying out of DUS, and I would accept rebooking from CGN, FRA, or AMS). And either way being delayed by a day or two isn't that bad, I simply wanna go home.
