I get the point but I was surprised given the current hoo-ha over prioritising 2-4-1 for downgrades that they overlooked 3 on this flight and chose the last one to check in and the most expensive fare in our party both cash fares were discounted non-flexible but both more expensive in terms of compensation than the companion voucher surely. I'm sure it was apathy on the part of the ground crew than following any protocol. I've edited the title to avoid further confusion
