decision Mennens v Emirates which clarifies that when calculating a downgrade refund the tax
element is not included. The passenger is only entitled to any difference of fares between our World
Traveller Plus cabin and the economy cabin on his rebooked American Airlines flight. I've contacted
our Refunds team and this amount is £166.85 and the refund was arranged on 28 November back to
the original form of payment.
Additional comment: My calculation of the EC261 refund - assuming £440 is correct - is 440-120 (AA economy taxes via MAN, round terms) = 320 x 0.75 = £240. So BA owes you about £73 (240-167).
