I searched but could not find a definitive answer:

I understand that I must exchange my bump voucher for a free ticket with a year of getting bumped, but can the actual flight dates on the ticket received be beyond the expiration date of the voucher?

I'm looking to travel in early 2010 on a voucher issued August 2008 which expires August 2009. Does this work as long as I exchange the voucher for the ticket before August 2009?

Thanks.
