Even better, you should get a 75% discount for the downgrade ;-).

Or take them to court. The 75% will be pro-rated for the distance of the leg against the whole ticket.

Given that it was only the last leg DXB-ATH leg (originally ATH-DXB-SFO-DXB-ATH), it is not worth the energy.

It's the principle that matters! Still even at prorated distance and minus commission to an agency that does the legwork you should be able to get a very nice dinner out of it.

ATH-DXB-SFO also has the same rates ($1900 for OW Biz/$2900 for OW F). Thinking about using this one way on my trip back from Santorini for the one year Anniversary with the wife.

Would I be able to ask for a stopover in DXB and enjoy the Dubai for a few days before DXB-SFO?

I'm going to Amsterdam this weekend on that AM mistake fare from last year and after my first EK F redemption, I'm irrationally looking at this for my way home because it'd be awesome to do again. Would earn like 35k AS miles. Ugh :o

ex-MLA to BOS for $3500 in F is not really a good deal. For the same amount of money you can fly ex-CPT/JNB and get many more miles.

LOL. While true, I think it bears noting (again) that not a lot people care about BOS. ;)
And if you happen to be in Malta or in the EU for that matter, ex-CPT/JNB fares are pretty irrelevant. :D

Are you including travel from my (theoretical) holiday home in MLA to CPT as well as CPT-BOS in F in your $3500? ;)

Once again, I can fly US-MLA for $3000 roundtrip in J. Have a flatbed too.
I think EK F is overrated. And the experience in DXB sucks.

It's pretty clear plenty of other people don't agree with this sentiment!

I do not think EK used to make money in F (or even J).. now that they are not making money even in Y, they are suffering.

Which of your airlines flies flat beds to MLA?
