I am new to the "bumping game" but was quite successful on a flight back from Vegas, checked in early, offering to be bumped, at the last minute they bumped me I got a $200 voucher boarded another plane immedietly and beat my lugggage back to DTW. I am using part of the voucher for a trip to New Orleans at the end of the month and hope to get bumped both ways!!! One of the best ways to be bumped is to look professional in dress and maner and be nice!!! This is fun!!
