Quite an appalling experience. They should have offered it upfront.
Hello @
Adventpreneur and welcome to FlyerTalk. That doesn't sound like a great experience and may be another anecdotal example of BA choosing to downgrade someone on an Avios ticket as opposed to a revenue ticket. Would you care to provide any other information that you're aware of surrounding the downgrade? Was it a simple case of overbooking or was there perhaps something else going on such a problem with the seat you were assigned which - coupled with a full cabin - required a move?
For those interested, this is the reference to badoc's post early on in the thread (albeit for just over 4 years ago).
