United oversell

[dhbearguy]

Soo, the boyfriend and I and his friend Paul are off to Vegas for the weekend. The flight left at 7:15pm. As you can see, I am not on it. They were oversold by 10 seats. I gave them my board pass and got on the jet bridge with Sam and Paul. I asked Sam if he would be mad if I took the bump because they were still begging for 1 more person. He said he would not be mad or disappointed since he knew I wanted to use the free ticket I would get to go visit my Mom later in the fall. I didn't think I was going to get to see her this year.

Soo I got off the jet bridge and told them I would do it. They took my card and told me to have a seat. They called me and gave me my pass and said to get on the plane. Dammit!! No sooner then I got sat in my window seat and Wink at Sam sitting 2 rows behind me that they called my name and told me to bring my belongings. YAY. Free ticket for me. Free meal, and a seat in row 2B. on the next flight.

Sooo 2 hours to sit here and surf and watch DVD's not a bad deal for a free airline ticket.

Now is that really fair Luke?? I mean, it was United that overbooked the flight by so much. If you were not an employee, would you not go for it if you had the chance?

Airlines have been and always shall be rather silly.

at first the name Ted seemed kinda lame but i'm surprised at how it grows on one. it's kinda cute actually.

I've only flown to Vegas once and I took Jet blue. I Loved Jet Blue. Only thing was on the way back we had a two hour layover in Long Beach that sucked. There are no direct flights for some reason coming back.
