    - Flight was oversold. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:18 11
      - That just makes zero sense. Normally they ask for volunteers at the gate, or see if people no-show, before bumping people. - ty97 May 9, 08:24 10
        
        Flight was undersold. She was the only passenger. -- nm - LFG May 9, 08:32

        What airline are we talking about and what city are they flying into? - ty97 May 9, 08:27 6
        
        United. She mentioned a connecting flight, so I don't think she's flying straight to Portland. I'll get that info. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:28 5

        Connecting flight was rescheduled to leave earlier, making connection impossible? -- nm - Meg May 9, 08:44
        
        Often they can get people to take an offer as a VDB that is cheaper than what is owed for IDB. - ty97 May 9, 08:25
