I am still waiting for an answer on that one. Though the ticket was OK issued I wrote AF and though they'd forward it if they didn't want to handle it. That was two months ago and haven't heard anything yet..
The issuing airline (OK) owes you an invol. refund, as per their Tariffs. The operating carrier (AF) owes you the downgrade compensation under Regulation EC 261/2004.
If you and AF are unable to agree on the interpretation of the EC Regulation, you could then take your case to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ...
