I had one double bump that was almost a triple. We flew from ORD to ZRH in 2001; knew that coach was oversold and volunteered. We did not get the bump but did get an op up to business. Our flight from ZRH to ORD was oversold and we were given $500 each plus hotel and meals. The next day the ZRH to ORD flight was oversold again (eight people were bumped); volunteered and received $500 more plus same hotel (Novotel) and meals. The next day, the flight was not oversold; however, it was the inaugural flight from ZRH to DFW. We were op upped to business (the only two of the eight volunteers from the previous day who were but we were both Platinum). Upon boarding we received inaugural certificates and bandanas; upon landing at DFW, we received cowboy hats and Texas pins (just what a girl from Fort Worth really wants).
