America West FlightFund (Discontinued Program) - "More Care Kit" w/$$$ off coupon

I volunteered my seat on an overbooked flight last weekend and they didn't need my seat (at first, then realized they were actually over). When they gave me my boarding past they thanked me for volunteering and gave me a "More Care Kit".

This kit contained a phone card, beverage/headset voucher, AirCheckPlus $$$ of coupon ($25 off 98, $50 off 198, $75 off 298, $100 off 398). The packet says it is for apologizing for an inconvenience.

Since America West offers so few $$ off coupons, I'd suggest to anyone that has an "inconvience" to ask for one.

They seem to offer that for flight delays, etc.

Most of the time when I have volunteered, I receive a free drink/headset coupon. I think you were lucky....

That's the exact same package I received in October when our late inbound flight missed the last connection in Phoenix and we had to spend the night there.

With HP, it really seems to be hit and miss... even if you ask. In August, my flight was cancelled, and I was given the care pack (phone card, meals, etc.) without even asking. On another trip, they really wouldn't do anything.

However, I generally find that, if you are pleasant, they'll give you just about anything!
