For those who were able to take the money and run, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:28 16
- Exactly. I rebooked myself quickly yesterday because it was obvious to me that cancellations odds were high re: Newark. - ty97 Aug 23, 10:53
- In the end they cancelled the flight so those people are up $1k and everyone's equally stranded. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:30 14
  - If it's the same as the $600 we got for bumping us, it was in the form of a $600 credit that had to be used within 90 days. - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:42 4
    - 90 days? What airline is this? Usually the credits are good for a year in my experience. -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:54 2
      - It was Frontier, so I'm sure ymmv -- nm - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:59 1
        
        ahh, okay. That major airlines give you a year I think. Don't think I'd take a 90 day -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 11:01
    - Ah. Well, I'll have to keep that in mind if it ever happens to me. Cash or they can get lost. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:45
  - Right, but the $1000 people also had the benefit of not being dicked around for seven hours. Must be nice. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:36 8
    - Yup. They either got other flights or were relaxing in a hotel room while those people got dicked around. -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:40
    - Video of the customer service line -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 23, 10:39 6
      - that almost triggered an anxiety attack, thx -- nm - mud Aug 23, 11:09
      - There was a woman trying to get from EWR to DEN yesterday that was on the tarmac so long that they didn't have enough fuel anymore - ty97 Aug 23, 10:56
      - Rebook yourselves in the app people, why are you in that line?! -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:55
      - I am pretty sure any person who can work an airline's customer service desk should be at least considered for sainthood. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 23, 10:47 1
        
        It has to be a very tough job. AND they are understaffed lately too which makes it that much worse -- nm - ty97 Aug 23, 10:57
      - *smh* -- nm - Krusty Aug 23, 10:41
