Oh boy, so they raised this "free ticket fee" by 30%?
Good to know (well, irrelevant to me probably, I've never gotten this free ticket myself anyway

).
Also good to know about the "downgrade" to economy too.
It has been reported here (
#20 at least, I have a feeling there were other examples as well), that this compensation for delayed flights, which involved upgraded tickets, involved a free ticket in business class, not economy!
