Downgrade compensation is strictly distance based.... has nothing to do with paid vs. upgrade. Of course if you paid for it, you will get refunded the difference in fare in addition to the conpensation.

In my case, Downgrade comp would have been $200 for a flight less than 1000 miles.

My paid first class fare was so cheap $141 one way a.i. ...... no brainer to downgrade to EC and arrive into Denver at the same time as originally scheduled for $400.
