They go me onto the (delayed) 001 leaving at 10:00, only 40 minutes earlier than I was meant to go originally. I presume that being a PL and not on the cheapest of tickets probably helped, but I was impressed at how well they handled the situation.
I wonder if the flight was completely Full and if You or anyone other person was flying on an El Cheapo but were a Plat would they have gotten them onto the delayed 001? if the flight was full and they have to bump someone since You are on an expensive tkt, they can still make a good Buck even if they have to bump someone to get You on, but wouldnt be doing so had You been on an El Cheapo
