I would accept going into J but, If I accept a downgrade to J, would I get compensation or would that be viewed as voluntary? I will phone BA First team but just want to be aware of my options before I do. We are both only BAEC Blue. Thanks to everyone for their input
Your compensation would be the difference in avios between F and J for that sector. As it's more than 14 days before departure BA can theoretically cancel your whole booking without paying you and compensation beyond a refund.
As usual: the best thing is to decide what you would like to achieve (take your existing flight in J and get the avios back? Fly in F on a different day?) and call BA explaining what has happened and asking for your desired outcome.
