As the OP it will be close to Xmas when I return and having then fully used the ticket I will then be allowed to reapply I don't expect to have any news until into the New Year.
I appreciate the positive replies (I will pursue if EK do not come up with the correct amount) and even the negative ones (at least people take the time out).
I will definitely update the thread when there is something to report. I originally only posted hoping that somebody would know how long it takes for EK to resolve these matters, ended up getting some very useful info.
Thanks to all.

Just received 320 compensation for the DXB-BKK leg of the outgoing flight, no explanation of the calculation unfortunately, but better than the peanuts that some predicted. For going out F and returning J I paid around 3400 as opposed to the 2300 it was at the time for both flights in J. Not too sure how to apply the EC261 rules that DYKWIA used for the complete trip in F.
Applied for the refund exactly one week ago.

I suggest you shoot for more compensation based on the EC261 formula.

I cannot believe 2300 has become the norm for a flight in J MAN-BKK... a few years ago I could often get this flight for 1600 :-(

Was that EK?

Maybe that was back when Etihad first started and were doing J for 1300, EK competing?

I know we are going off topic but only a couple of years ago you could get J savers for 1600. Id get a couple a year.
