Below is a real conversation.
(Why are you coming back to Canada after a few hours in the US?
I didn't want to travel to the US
Why did you book this flight if you didn't want to use it at all?
It's cheaper
Why did you even show up at the airport then?
VDB hunting and lounge access
WHat's a VDB?
Voluntary Denied Boarding
Do you do this often?
I've done it before but with success
What do you have on you?
(searches through my carry on)
Show me your phone
(searches through pics)
How many times have you been to the US?
I don't remember, at least 10 times in the last few months)
