That is exactly what I wanted to post right now

. There is the price difference
and compensation for the Yellow Headrest Experience. I mean, why did I book C ??? $ 1600 sounds meagre to me. A reasonable compensation would be twice of the difference between Y and C with comparable conditions. Why twice? They owe you the difference anyway and the difference is the amount of money you were (or your employer was) willing to shell out to avoid Y.
