I'm not trying to fight my way to death for a 1000 miles here. I don't have the time or energy for that. But I've written to EK asking what they're willing to offer for the inconvenience they've put me through. Yes, I still get to my destination, but it's still an inconvenience.
I actually didn't know about this change till khalid26 posted about it yesterday. Previously, most routes that had been substituted were supposed to go back to 380 from 1 April. So telling me 10 days before I commence my trip is a little late.
Maybe EK will come back saying they'll let me make free changes to my booking, maybe they'll let me change destinations to one served by a 380, maybe they'll decide I'm too much of a pain and refuse to ever sell me a ticket again. We'll see what happens.
I'm sorry, I just don't see what inconvenience has been caused to you personally? Are you a day late? Are you going to miss an important meeting? Did EK's change cause you to miss out on a major sale? Are you still not on a 777 in F (same F product, minus the shower).
You opened this can of worms. Be specific for once. How much was the fare? Are you on business or simply taking a vacation and taking advantage of a special deal? It's relevant because it puts the whole thing in context. How many hours/days difference is the new flight from the old one? What was the specific out of pocket costs (or anticipated costs) to you because of EK's actions...
