Just had a really cool bump story. I had a one way with stopover from lga to lax, I got to lga and was told that my flight was delayed and I wouldn't be able to catch my connection. I was changed to a direct from jfk, and I got them to pay for a taxi. I got on the list to get bumped, and sure enough I was bumped. Here:s what I got: A hotel for the night$600 voucherConfirmed first class for tomorrow morning$30 food voucherTaxi to/from hotelI've been bumped in the past, but none were as lucrative as this one.
Nice!What airline?
tonights flights (direct) from jfk to tlv are all over booked they are looking for ppl to be willing to et bumped ( three tours and a birthright group on delta and elal sold outthey are offering the group to go with a stop get a free ticket + ($400 bid offer online)good offer or hold out?
how much $ to put in the bid box?
Cool, Elal has a feature like this for overbookings on their website? Where? I can use it too now.
Any recently had any experience getting bumped voluntarily on UA to/from TLV?
Which is completely ludicrous, of course.
So I have a chance?
No idea how big, but of course.
Ok...I read up every thread here discussing all the tips and everything how to get bumbed. It would be useless to try if they wouldn't budge.
There is no way to get them to bump you if they are not oversold and need someone off of the flight. The kunts is getting them to choose you when they are bumping
