Was it one direct flight to another, or did you change from a connection and actually arrive earlier?
(Many years ago, I heard a GA requesting people to take VDB and not having much luck, even when she pointed out that she knew several people were booked on a connection and she could switch them to a non-stop and they'd arrive earlier. If I were on that flight, I'd have requested ORC and grabbed it.)
