Last July my girlfriend and I were flying GPT-ATL-MIA on DL. We were on an RJ in the first row and I overheard the gate agent asking the flight attendant to make an announcement for volunteers. I think I was already telling the attendant we would give up our seats before I had even finished waiting for an answere from my girlfriend! Anyway got $200. each and a flight out two hours later. After arriving in ATL, found out that there were severe thunderstorms in the area which affected flight operations, thereby overbooking our flight to MIA. Volunteered again and this time got $300 each and hotel overnight (at least from 2:00a - 5:00a). Next morning same thing - to make a long story short - 4 flights later we finally got on a flight to FLL (with limo svc to our doorstep in Miami)and $3600 between us in vouchers.
