Wouldn't mind the $800+ dollars and free hotel opportunity. They should have stuck the trolley dollies in a taxi, it was only 300 miles, would have saved a fortune. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on loads of 'internal US' flights where it seems to be commonplace. Usually you're offered $100-150 and the next flight out and it never interested me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other people have taken the offer while I've mulled over it for me. Was given no choice and bumped off a connecting flight in Paris because some VIP's wanted the seats. Wasn't arsed because it was a work trip, and was a teenager. Can't remember the deal, but had a night out in Paris out of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
