Flying NW on the Saturday before Thanksgiving (11/23) from Houston (IAH) to Seattle via MSP.

The IAH-MSP leg was overbooked. My party of 3 received $300 vouchers. Another group of 3 was prepared to be bumped, but wound up boarding at the last minute.

Note that they never made a general call for bump volunteers, as we (and I presume the other party) inquired at checkin about the possibility. So don't be afraid to ask!

Best of all...we were rebooked onto a CO nonstop and arrived in SEA 4 hours early!
