probably a discussion for a different thread but it still amazes me that it's worth it for airlines to oversell

We aren’t talking about overselling, we’re talking about a benefit of bumping for elites. Secondly, they’re selling a seat that costs easily 2,3 or 4 times maybe more than what the lowest pax paid, besides the fact that award would prob be bumped first. This answers overselling in general, the overselling is always the most expensive seats. Elites can get even after the normal amount of oversell as a benefit, yet still doesn’t cost them too much if at all due to the fare being sold.

My flight with United was canceled and rebooked for the following day, needing to get home earlier I was forced to leave earlier and take a connecting flight which was a big inconvenience.

Can I expect some compensation for that? Is there a specific email address to send in the request?

Why is Dan's or anyone's preference for flying to Israel on the night flight?

I get the way back, the night flight gives you a day in Israel, then you get here in morning after a night's sleep.

But why the way there? The 3.50 pm UA flight gets you there in the morning, ready for a whole day.

Nope. You can't check any luggage.

United

It's non sellable, you can still use it to book a ticket in whoever's name you want.

It's not exactly the same but point is, it is not worth it.

I've long had the same thought. It would be easy to do. But I assume illegal.

you cant have a minor in different cabin

however if you can successfully book it and they give you problems at gate I'm sure you can find s/o who would trade seats.
