VA flight changes resulting in an overnight connection

[SJF211]

Hi, just wanting some advice. My flight VA1348 (DRW-SYD) has been cancelled (I’d assume). I’ve been moved from a 0135 departure on a Thursday and I’ve been put on VA1356, at 1635 on a Wednesday. This would be fine except I have a connection in Sydney which originally was just 1 hour 40 mins to Brisbane. Due to the time change I now have an overnight (10:40) in Sydney which is definitely not ideal. I spotted this earlier today but I’m not sure when it occurred and I haven’t heard at all from virgin about this. No email about flight change, no app notification, nothing. I’m not particularly happy and was wondering if i rang would they be able to put me on the red eye via Melbourne? I need to get there in the morning (hence direct flight not an option) and was hoping to avoid paying for a hotel overnight in Brisbane hence the original red eye. I assume they wouldn’t provide accomodation in Sydney.

Many thanks for the help.

Give them a call.

Double check your junk email box, my Virgin flight changes keep being sent there for some reason. Saying that, yes it's fine to call and ask for other options.
