Gadling's guide to getting bumped {Gadling}

Nov 1st 2007 2:36PM I was flying from Hartford to West Palm about 10 years ago with my then boyfriend. We had an early flight. I forget which airline. Anyway, we bumped off of 4 flights in one day and got a free night at a hotel to leave the next morning. For that...we got 8 free round trips tickets to anywhere in the USA. I went to California to see friends. Needless to say I did a lot of free flying that year. Totally worth it if you can manage it. I have children now and wouldn't even think of it.
