Continental product "C" declined

Their continental "C" product obviously declined but they prefer flying with empty "C" rather than accepting >100 EUR for a leg. Such airline will never be profitable. Their "C" in Austria is mostly for own FA travelling to Vienna. Cold food in continental "C" is always the same whereas LH has a good selection of light meals which change from time to time.

I bid €85 (that was the minimum on the site) for VIE-MXP, and was just accepted today. However, J is full, and I can't select a seat. Seems a little silly for OS to accepted the lowest bid possible with a full cabin.

I know OS can just expand the cabin, but in the off chance the flight is overbooked and I end up getting downgraded, I'd still be due EU downgrade compensation, since I am now in P fare code, is that correct?

Thanks for the suggestion. The minimum was 115 or 120 euros. Thinking about it, but it is not that long a flight.

Yes, OS must be able to rewrite and reissue the ticket.
