Downgraded with no refund
As the title says, my cabin class was downgraded and I received no refund. Looking to see what paths for resolution there are. For reference, this flight has not occurred yet.
Earlier this year, I purchased roundtrip tickets for my family and myself from the USA to Kenya with one stop at CDG. That same day, we purchased upgrades from economy to premium economy for the outbound flight only.
Fast forward to last week, we decided we want to extend our trip by a few days so I can in to adjust our return flight. The rep I spoke with assured me twice that this change only affects the return flight and that my outbound would stay in premium economy. The difference in fare for the new date was roughly $200 for all 3 passengers.
Once I paid, the app updates and has us in economy on both outbound and return. I called back in and KLM says they have no record of an upgrade to premium and that I can pay $2k to upgrade to premium. They want me to pay for an upgrade to premium that I already paid for and it is not being acknowledged. I tried to get this escalated to a supervisor or someone above the rep and they insisted that they have to escalate on their end and I have to wait 24-48 hrs for a resolution.
It's been nearly 48 since I called. Do you all recommend any other paths I can take for escalation or resolution on something like this?
Update: called back after 48hrs and the rep was able to help me get my original booking back.
