I would guess at that point BA will strictly only be liable for EC261 compensation - so even though the downgrade is from one end of the scale to the other, it's still only 75% of the fare. I imagine BA will consider having to chuck 500 quid at this to be something of a result ...

It's difficult to find a reason to argue against this as well - I'm pretty sure BA could come up with any number of perfectly valid reasons why this happened - full F cabin, faulty seat, even seat taken out of action due to it being unclean ...

Let's face it, their actions on this have generally been wholly dishonourable from the start - why shouldn't they continue along that path? In for a penny ...
