PARSPro -

I have a few quick questions about the BUMP program. The answers are probably obvious but I just want to check.

First, does the routing have to be the same or just the origin/destination. For example, if I have a UA ticket from MSN-ORD-AUS will Northwest accept this even though my routing would be MSN-MSP-AUS?

Second, does the BUMP program apply to e-tickets? In my earlier example if my ticket on UA is an e-ticket will NW accept it?

Third, if I'd like to try to use the BUMP program, how do I do it? Do I go to the ticket counter at the airport just before the flight? Do I call reservations?

Thanks. I appreciate all of the insight you give us into a whole variety of things. It's nice to have a way to peek behind the curtain.
