We have 2 x CW seats from LHR to MIA returned booked using an AMEX 241. Outbound was flown without issue.
The inbound was cancelled on March 29th and the prior flight went tech at LHR. I asked to get moved onto AA flights from MIA to JFK and then JFK to LHR.
We arrived only an hour after we were due to land if the MIA flight had run as scheduled. We did have to fly the MIA to JFK sector in economy as no Biz seats were available.
I believe the only compensation on offer would be for the MIA to JFK sector due to the downgrade in cabin; 30% of miles?
I suspect you are correct, but someone else will hopefully answer with more certainty. I was also meant to be on this flight. I'd allowed an extra day in my schedule, so I took the rebook for the following day MIA-CDG-EDI on Air France. So I'm hoping for a bit more compensation of course. The initial offer suggested the new ticket would be in F, but when it was ticketed seat selection was for business. Only 4 x F on that plane, so maybe someone got in ahead of me. Would have been nice to fly F on AF. I did however have an unexpected bike ride along ocean drive during the extra day...
