Hi,

Getting ready to set off on my AONE3 soon but had an aircraft downgrade and offered a free change I thought was not possible?

Basically CX downgraded aircraft on NRT to HKG to 330 with no other NRT alternatives. I wasn't happy as I go down to J.

So rang up AA RTW and was allowed to change airports and go on the CX F leaving HND. I thought this was considered a ticket reissue = $125? (luckily my AONE3 is 15 sectors - not that they asked).

Update: Was reissued with a new e-tkt number and payment type 'exchange'

Nevertheless am happy with the result from AA.

Also asked about any rules of compensation for downgrades after ticketing on a marketed F flight and was told - no way.
