Reply To: BA sold out CW/PE on HND redemption – should I be worried about downgrade?

Thanks all for the responses… I’ll try not to worry for another few weeks at least!

Would OP be compensated for being downgraded? How much/how?

Yup… Given the flight length, UK law would be 75% of the price of that leg (excluding taxes etc.).

See https://www.headforpoints.com/2020/08/13/british-airways-first-class-downgrade/

There might then be a bun fight about whether that’s in Avios or cash, whether surcharges are included and BA might also assign zero value to the 241 voucher in order to halve the compensation it tries to give.
