If I have a Flown J ticket and listing but only offered an EY seat, will the amount deducted be the J price and I then request a refund. Or will the deduction from my account be the EY price ?
Recently had this discussion with someone who encountered this issue on a multi sector trip. He was apparently advised by ground staff that if he accepted an EY seat, it would be considered a 'voluntary downgrade' and he would be charged the J class fare.
Did not sound right to me - but haven't had a chance to query it further.
Fortunately, he managed to get on to the ticketed class on all sectors - so didn't get to test the advice.
