Cancelled flights (not yours but other flights) and they have to put PAX on your flight...There are numerous odd situations.
All the PAX (who had a reservation) show up in an overbooked situation and etc.

This is somewhat fuzzy logic, but I have no experience. Anyone know a site or thread that discusses this thouroughly?
If you want to go the weekend route try booking Friday evening when most people are trying to go home from work or Monday morning when they are trying to commute to work.
