1600$ is no compensation when you consider 7400$ for a C-Class ticket and lets say 1400 $ for an half-flexible H-class (i dont want to grab too deep in the box and compare it with S class).

7400-1400 = 6000 / 2 = 3000$ would be a reasonable compensation since it reflects the real value for someone on full fare.
