Zone 1 boarding? Lounge access (which it sounds like you didn't even use)?

I'd try again with a very concise argument that the product difference between 788 PY and 321 J is virtually non-existent, and therefore, you want the bid amount back.

Agree completely.

Unacceptable on the part of AC to basically tell you to pound sand. The product you were willing to bid for was not the product you ended up getting!

I would continue to send them emails until they give you appropriate compensation, whatever that may be!
