The first email i got after complain to EK was that they cant give any compensation just rebook me to another date....
If you are downgraded, then lodge a claim under EU261 fro 75% of price of ticket. EK is unlikely to inform you of your rights under the legislation and unless you specify it in you claim for compensation, I doubt that it will volunteer it

If it is claiming that it cannot compensate, then it is likely to find a court disagreeing with it
