And this is why you are supposed to travel with your passport even on a short domestic weekend getaway. You just never know what would come up.

If i would have my passport I would have done it. >:(
I'm shocked. You of all people ?

Yes. I now just learnt a valuable lesson.

ATTENTION EVERYONE,  Always carry your passports with you even on a short weekend trip

Wow. This is seriously tempting... except on on West Coast. And also don't have my passport.

Just curious, how does he know that "They zeroed out all the inventory"?

He shows the inventory from ExpertFlyer showing all zeros

Ahh, I know nothing about booking tickets...

But this would be interesting indeed:

"If history is any indicator, it may be a Royal Family shopping trip. They’re notorious for using Qatar Airways planes for their shopping trips, and just leaving them sitting on the ground for them for days/weeks at a time."

Realistically, the odds he gets on the flight approach zero, but it'd be quite the coup.

I'd feel really bad for him in that case.

Yes, but he's flying all the way just to get on that flight. I could imagine the agents not even understanding the big deal with putting him on the next flight while here he flew half way around the world just to be on it.

If I would have my passport I would have been on a plane right now doing the same thing.

Plus he isn't traveling half way around the world just for that, he was already going to take the inaugural flight.

As long as they get him there some way to catch the inaugural, this could be an opportunity for compensation as well.

Why would he different than any business person whose flight is changed or canceled in which case the compensation does not usually amount to MORE than the actual flight.
