If you were in paid J and were told you'd be in F on those new legs it is absolutely worth a complaint.




No I meant that I was given a ticket for full J by the GA as part of the VDB agreement. I told him I wanted to make up the miles and was tired and wanted to be up front so he agreed to rebook the ticket in full J. Was on a K fare originally
This is like the glitch of being rebooked in full Y during IROPs. It used to give bonus MQMs but not anymore. And even then your original fare was still in the system.

AFAIK you can't negotiate for a particular fare code or extra MQMs during a VDB/IROPS so you aren't entitled to any. But here's a question, why not? I bet lots of pax would give up their $400 for 5,000 MQMs. DL could save a ton of money.
