They were asked if they would prefer an earlier connection, reducing their wait time from 3 hours to 50 minutes - presumably because later flights were heavy or perhaps oversold. Needless to say, all were delighted, and new boarding cards were waiting and baggage was ready to be re-tagged. ^
That's pretty cool. Make 10 customers happy at no cost (the 5 who got home early, and the 5 who didn't need to be bumped).
