Was once Traveling with a stop over, the first flight was an hour flight like 100 miles, got bumped off that one, the airline payed for the cab to the next airport, we made it in time for our original flight, Got free vouchers to anywhere in the 48 states, and didnt lose anytime,
this was with United!
Another was from JFK to LAX had a stopover in Washington (was a miles ticket) in JFK they called us out by name to bump us, gave us free vouchers, put us on a direct flight from JFK to lax in business class, and best of all, bec we didnt have to stop, we made it to LAX ahead of schedule, to bad we had to wait for hour bags to make it through the stop over, like a half hour.
Spirit Airlines from ORD to to FLL offered to bump me, put me on American to MIA, but my car was by FLL and Spirit flights are good to have free ones but not worth the hassle to me!
