Hi,

I'm new to this website, but i was thinking that this is the best place for advise.

Now i'm a university student, definately saving every bit of money i have goes a long way...

so my flight KLM/NorthWest is on the 16th of December to Amsterdam (stop over) and then India. I've heard stories where many people are requested to wait back for an extra day when flights are over-booked and they get $250 refund for the wait, as well as a full day's stay at a hotel thats affiliated with the airline.

Now, instead of them asking me to stay, is it possible for me to ask them and volunteer out myself. I dont have to reach india until the 20th anyways, so i could use the extra cash.

any thoughts on this are highly appreciated.

thanks a million,
ruth
