Do they refund the extra APD which was paid at the time of doing the upgrade?
Yes, you can downgrade only if the same booking class (W, Y, B, K, etc) that you were originally booked on is available.
Also you dont get the refund of the extra departure taxes paid when you made the upgrade (that was the case when I changed my return flight to ex-spain instead of ex-france).
