Turkish Business Class fare without business class capacity
Hi all. I booked a multi city itinerary all on TK (ORD-IST-KGL-IST-TLV-IST-YYZ) in business class. Due to a flight cancellation I had to shift everything by a day. Now Im being told some flights dont have business class capacity. Obviously I dont want to pay a business class price for economy seating. Im wondering what the best course of action is - stick with business fare class and economy seat assignments in hope that capacity opens up? Am I due a refund for those sectors where class of travel has been downgraded? Is there financial recourse if I stick with business class fares and get downgraded to economy? Any experience here would help - thanks!

If you accept to be rebooked to economy for some segments, it will be a voluntary downgrade and you will not get downgrade compensation or partial refund + I wouldn't count getting rebooked for free into business class if J/C seats become available.
I suggest you wait to get (invol) rebooked due to the cancellation until all segments are available in J/C class.
