My son's friend took the $500 and a 4 pm flight (upgraded to 1st). Not bad for a reward seat! Apparently, all the EWR-MCO flights were oversold today.

I hope now that he has scored two VDB vouchers he gives at least one to you. If it weren't for your generosity he wouldn't be in a position to get this compensation. I know I would have given you the first voucher had it been me.
