What means " not available " ???
If Iam on a DONEW4 confirmed in "D" class and the airline
a.) overbooks business, has no seat available and downgrades.
b.) airline changes aircraft and now has lower business seats capacity and downgrades.
c.) airline changes aircraft and now
no business seats on the new aircraft and downgrades
d.) generaly overbooked, bumped and rebooked on next service
any general compensation rules for these cases; specialy for Downunder (where QF I searched their forum ) has nothing like European or US cmpensation by law !
