I went ahead and put in $400 because I have the time to wait and we will see what happens. There are other flights that afternoon but no non-stops, routing through DTW or LHR and getting in several hours later.
What are the odds of holding out for more than $400...and getting a FC seat on the transatlantic leg? Am currently in Economy Comfort. I've gotten $400 for domestic bumps, sure seems low for international travel.
$400 is the limit programmed into that system. The actual VDBs if necessary will be handled by the GA. You can negotiate for the J seat TATL and the amount of compensation. Whether you get it depends on the loads on the alternate flights and how many they are oversold/what they need to offer to get people to bite.
