Well... my one is mixed.... maybe my bad-luck in london turn out helped me for $1000!
With the problem of the Tube (london underground), I missed my latest flight of Sunday night from LHR-ORD. they rebooked me to Monday morning LGW-DFW and I need to spend around US$150 for hotel and food.
I have connection DFW-DTW on Monday 7pm. Standby 5pm, no hope. Since they asked volunteer for that 5pm flight. So I go to gate for my Confirmed 7pm flight ans say I can volunteer. They need me, $400 and a free hotel and rebooked tomorrow 6:45am.
As usual I check-in at check-in counter, the agent knows I have no checked luggage and asked me to volunteer for $400 and rebook on 12:30pm, I say yes and they finailly need it.
The gate agent even rebooked me "F" .
At 12:30's flight I volunteered again and they need my seat. paid me $200 BUT rebook me only at exit row "y"" for flight at 2:30pm.
I volunteered at 2:30 flight, I am the 1st on volunteer list but at last they don;t need any volunteer. So I get back home Tue night instead of Sun night with $1000 voucher (minus $150 spent in LGW) equals net $850!!
Cool..... I miised the lesson on Monday, but gained $850! Enough for two Europe trip OR one trip to go back home
