Why would they downgrade you for your connection?
I am happy to reroute via Hel or LHR or even CDG if timing is sensible, or even fly out a day early. The OW flights look very full though on 24 and 25 March especially from LHR.
The return flight was originally Hnd Hel Dub both legs in J, but when rerouted to Hnd LHR Dub, only Y can be offered on last leg on BA. Guess its ok so long as lounge access is available under OW rule.
