I just want to avoid volunteering for $x00 only to then have the ga say "sorry, since you're going to land half an hour later were not giving you a penny". There's a nonstop to ohare but my reason to be in Chicago is right by midway.
The way to avoid volunteering for $0 is to not volunteer for $0. Don't volunteer without a clear understanding of what you are going to get in return. If it's not to your liking, don't do it.
