So, what you are saying that it is not the fact that two people did travel together to where they need to be, albeit in a different cabin, that matters but the fact that they traveled in the downgraded cabin that does? The voucher has no cabin value. The cabin is determined by the amount of Avios, so it makes sense that the compensation is based on the amount of Avios paid.
