Let's see.

Did you mean "i.e. bump?"

or

I could not understand what the thread was all about from the title

and all its generic permutations

These are your faves. Always funny , but on-topic? Hmmm...

Give the guy a break. If what he says he has accomplished in "bump running" is true, he gets to say whatever he wants in this thread IMHO.


But back on topic.


You can book an oversold flight very easily. Be a top-level elite, and buy a full Y fare. They will just bump someone else, and take your $1500, or whatever, and give them $300 of it for the seat.
