My family of 4 has greatly enjoyed several bumps during the Easter holiday season. We live in Cleveland & usually travel to warmer climes during the week between Good Friday & the Sunday after Easter. We've been bumped in Ft. Myers, FL, Brownsville, TX, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Nashville, TN. We volunteer as a group of 4, but we will split up when necessary. We have one carry on that has overnight necessities--just in case we get lucky. Our most recent bump in Nashville was on SW. We'd bought our tickets only 4 days in advance so they were expensive ($589), but "fully refundable with ONE hour's notice". The bump deal was 50% face value of the ticket PLUS $200/ticket & confirmation on the same flight 24 hrs. later. We had a super 24 hr. stay in Nashville and the $1500+ we received in vouchers just about paid for the ENTIRE vacation. My kids only groused the 1st time we did this, but now they expect it, enjoy it, & reap the benefits of more "free" travel when they least expect it. Every bump has been a great adventure--we're now very disappointed if we DON'T get the chance to get off the plane!
