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
  - Right? That seems weird. I suspect they probably changed aircraft. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:25 7
    - 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
        
        Well United wouldn't have a non-stop from Madison to Portland anyway -- nm - ty97 May 9, 08:29 4
        
        Madison to Chicago. -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:40 3
        
        rent a car to Chi? -- nm - LFG May 9, 08:45 1
        
        Not the point. You get bumped, you get paid, yes? -- nm - Mop🧹 May 9, 08:51
        
        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
