For someone like me who travels rarely, when I book a CW or any form of business class, I'm excited from the planning stage looking forward to the flight itself. I know this comes across odd to frequent flyers, but the idea of being downgraded from a CW seat and experience (no matter how badly the product is delivered on the day), would be devastating regardless of how short the international flight is. I would be gutted and extremely upset. Like the OP I would rather take another flight than be downgraded and ruin my planned experience. Just a quick glimpse into the mind of an infrequent flyer who dreams of a flat bed on a flight.
