Same thing happened to me yesterday in the PClub near Gate 75.

I asked what the chances of a VDB were on 811 to IAH. She looked at me and said "a what?" and I said a "bump", and she said "do you mean an upgrade? You'll have to go to the gate for that." So, I said, "no, I mean is the flight oversold and is there a chance I could offer to be bumped?"

She looked at the computer screen, looked at me with a blank look on her face and said "well, err, hmmm, err, you'll have to ask them at the gate"


:rolleyes::rolleyes:


Flight eventually went out with no bumps

The :rolleyes: on FT is getting worse and worse each day. If you see something you don't like, RBP and move on.

You know, ConciergeMike proposed a notice to posters that mirrors the one in the (SkyTeam partner) area of FlyerTalk.

Oh - for my trip to AUA, I was looking at $511 to fly BNA-ATL-AUA-ATL-BNA. However, I've found BNA-CVG-BOS-ATL-AUA-ATL-MEM-CVG-BNA for $4 more. I think the latter has a lot more bump potential (and would earn me a ton more RDMs).

You took a bump for nothing more than a meal voucher? :confused:

Ummm, no. The was a $300 voucher involved.

Though I didn't know it was $300. The agent said they may need volunteers and to come back at T-25. Came back and they had given up my seat. In hindsight, I should have negotiated, but i was still out of it from the lack of sleep for the last few days.

IF AF had reward seats on their code you should have gotten that as part of your ticket (assuming you went all reward, not paid + upgrade)

Went all reward, maybe there were no reward seats and I just misunderstood the agent. I only paid $125 per ticket for that last leg, so all-in it's still a deal.

Of course, it was actually harder to find the seats PIT-EWR on the Q than EWR-CDG in the front.

Not being obese isn't something that requires returning one's man card. Besides, I've already threatened to shoot and/or extensively poison a groundhog today.

The Wizard of Fozz once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

I asked at the Pclub and the woman just looked at me, said she has no idea and i should go back out to the gate. The $8 wasn't worth the hassle, at least not yet.

Another lesson in Shares:
The simple entry to move someone from a later flight to an earlier flight is called a "To/From".

6:new flt number . current flight number - last name (enter)
6:123.321-Fozz

This entry will put you on the revenue standby list and/or will give you a seat.
