If this had been a "turn up at airport and find 2 class only" that would be different
The email they sent me never gave me the option of rebooking. However, even if it had, it was not an option. I had a business meeting in Dubai, then another in Zurich the following day, so had to be on that flight.

While I applaud you on you efforts, Dave, to focus on uncovering my misstatement of the proper tier miles being earned, I would like to get back to the focus of my post, and that is what is done for involuntary compensation.

If one reads this thread from the start there are several instances of EK offering compensation. So, to get told, especially as one that is likely in their top 5% of customers in tier miles and revenue, to basically get lost, is surprising. The fact remains that I didn't get what i paid for.

While I don't expect what this guy got, why is EK offering compensation of this level to some and squadoosh to others?
