Also be wary of using a 241 on low frequency, high demand tourist destinations like Caribbean and Maldives, etc.... Otherwise a downgrade could be amplified....

We were split up and prevented from sitting next to each other, my wife remained in CW, I was subjected to a downgrade to WTP. Hardly ideal for a special occasion, that I'd planned for over a year in advance.

BAs overall response was terrible and dismissive, total lack of ownership for being responsible for the issues it created and I'm still trying to get appropriate EU261 compensation, as conveniently BA appear to have interpreted that EU261 does not to apply to downgrades with Avios redemption bookings as they seem to claim EU261 is focused on cash bookings.. ???

So if they hold that view, I would suggest they view 241 pax as easy & economically attractive to target & select for a downgrade....

Disgraceful behaviour IMHO.

I'll be taking this as far as necessary to seek appropriate recompense.
