My first FC gig was in '85. My girlfriend and I were flying cross-country to visit with her sibling and parents for five days. Four days sounded better to me; and the little witch bought off on the concept of our taking an overnight bump and a $700 voucher each.
Turned out that they did not need us to bump, and we wound up styling and profiling in first. Worked out great; albeit I still would have preferred four days in ATL as opposed to five.
