British Airways Doha route downgrade and compensation seems to be a common thing these days. I had a booked flight from Doha to London with British Airways in Premium economy. At the end of February, we received an email that the flight has been cancelled. Knowing that BA and Qatar airways combine flights on this route, it wasn't a major surprise.
