This has luckily not happened to me yet, but as a preparation for the day it does...
If I hold a ticket for travel in First or Business Class (paid with money or miles) and they are oversold (and op-up not available), what are my rights? They will likely offer some compensation if I accept a downgrade, but can they force an involuntary downgrade? What I mean is, technically, I am denied boarding into the cabin I paid for. Can I insist on VDB and travel on a later flight in the class paid for? Will they have to comply?
PS to moderator: feel free to move this thread - if you can think of a better forum
