Miles for flight change due to Typhoon?
My Wednesday flight on EVA was cancelled due to Typhoon Talim. They offered to fly me out on Monday, and I said that wouldn't work, and I would rather cancel instead. I was only going to be gone a week.
Since I was only changing planes in TPE, I had other options. Eventually they put me on KE. I am still on EVA for the return flight.
Questions:
1) I booked Elite class but only received Economy class on KE (they don't have premium economy on KE). Am I entitled to a refund of the fare difference?
2) Do I still get EVA miles for the flight? If I had booked KE originally, I don't think I could have earned EVA miles.
Thanks.
