Airlines tend to calculate the downgrade reimbursement based on the difference between the advanced purchase premium cabin fare you paid and the walkup full fare for a coach seat purchased on the day of travel. Be sure to watch that your reimbursement for the involuntary downgrade is based on what a coach fare would have cost on the day you originally purchased your tickets.
