Flight from DE to CH is delayed due to weather - misses connecting flight from CH to Asia.
Passenger is re-accommodated on OA out of CH on a class lower than initially booked.
Passenger arrives 12 hours after originally scheduled arrival time.


Is CH participating in the downgrade compensation rules?
If yes, I'm assuming that the following applies:



Is that correct? I always thought it was Euro 4'000 for a downgrade from F to C.
Maybe a less cryptic post would help - it had been posted that on the LH board that LH in general would pay in the region of € 4000 for an IDB - but as there are no LH flights ex ZRH this is not applicable. Then again another question is why the hypothetical pax acccepted the offer rather than wait for a flight that offered the booked COS - against the risk of being delayed further....
