Best bumping story:
Used to fly back and forth from SFO-LAX every weekend. About to get on the plane (American) when an older man fainted (VERY DRAMATIC!). Turns out he had heart problems and was on the way to his doctor in LA. He had to get on the plane and they wanted to put him and his wife in first class togther which meant moving someone back to coach but coach was full. I immediately volunteered to give up my seat. They kept thanking me, put me on a flight 30 minutes later in first class, and gave me a $500 travel voucher. All this on an $80 ticket from Cheap Tickets.
