Unfortunately you will not be able to complain as this is a simple schedule change made by the airline operating the flight, the change in flight time could have been made for many reasons, one of which could be due to the airport and take off availability.
It is actually quite normal for an airline to change the scheduled time of a flight. As long as they have given you ample time so it does not impact you getting to the airport in time, meaning they gave you at least 24 hours notice, then there is nothing much you can do.

You can complain, but it probably won't do you any good. Most likely, you'll come off as a whiner.
If it causes you any serious problems, such as your cruise ship will sail before you arrive, or you'll miss your daughter's wedding, ask them to book you on an earlier flight if possible. And that might mean that you leave the day before, or you catch a 5 AM flight. If it just means that you'll get into Orlando at an inconvenient hour, that's not enough to really worry about. Roll with it, and show the world how flexible and adaptable you are.

No, whats the problem, they have advised you, much better than sitting in the airport for two hours with a lst minute delay. Compensation doesnt usually kick in until a flight has been delayed 4 hours, this is not a delay, but a change of time

I've had this problem several times. They won't do you any favors, however, if you ask the person at the flight desk before you get on the plane, if there are available seats they will give you first class for no cost. Just tell them that you were supposed to ask about an upgrade because of your inconvenient flight changes. It has worked for me more than once!

Compensation for what? You have to be able to say what you have lost. If you will miss a flight, lose money, etc., you need to have a concrete calculation for the amount lost.

it depends on what airline you booked with, most do have it in their terms and conditions that flights can be subject to change without notice, saying that the company should have offered you your money back as new flight arrangements might not be suitable for you. phone them , it wont do any harm

No. That's happened to me before and airlines do not pay out. It is grossly unfair because they have no problems charging the punter if he wants to change his flights to a different time. However, they won't pay out if they change the flight time of your flight.

Each airline has different terms and conditions which you agreed to when booking. They tend to be long, boring and in small print so few of us read them but now is the time to sit down and read them, boring or not.

You can complain, but no matter how loud you do it you won't get compensation,
