I am guessing u will have to call.
I’m in a similar situation: I was involuntarily downgraded from paid FC to coach. The fare difference at the time of booking would have been about $100; on the date of travel, it was negligible.
If I bought a suit from Nordstrom and received a T-shirt instead, and then the suit went on sale, I’d think that Nordstrom would refund the original price, not the sale price. Why wouldn’t any decent business do the same? (Rhetorical question, I guess.)
