Gadling's guide to getting bumped {Gadling}

Nov 2nd 2007 9:42AM When I was studying abroad in London, I was flying back and fourth fom the States. Always same flight same airport, and ALWAYS arrived 2 hours early...So one winter, the flight before me was (7pm) was delayed, the flight after that delayed, the flight before mine was canceled,my flight was OVER BOOKED and so fourth..But because I arrived early...I was offered FIRST CLASS if I left on the next flight. Lets just say, that not only did i agree, I was booted to the NEXT flight, was in my own cabin w/a personal flight attendent, got a massage onboard and was give EXPRESS CHECK out once in arrived in the uk:-)
