I also know for a fact that the ticket I bought was more expensive when I bought it than the itinerary they rescheduled me on so I would think, at the very least they would owe me that difference. I am traveling first class and as others mentioned, have lost the lie flat seat for the first leg of the trip. The entire reason I booked 1st class was to sleep through the night on a redeye.
