Well over half way to LT Globalist. For some reason I assumed I'd be one of the last people to get walked, but I guess nobody is safe.

Should I be asking/expecting some sort of compensation for getting walked? I already purchased airfare/activities for the trip, so it's pretty unfortunate

The short answer is that you should be getting compensation of some sort (they're supposed to give you space somewhere if they can't honor it).

How long ago did you make your reservation? This would affect how aggressive I'd be.
