Gadling's guide to getting bumped {Gadling}
Nov 1st 2007 6:34PM My husband and I flew United at Christmas 2006 from Europe through Washington DC. We had extra time. Volunteered to get bumped when we checked in at the gate. Asked them if we could stay 2 days instead of flying out first thing the next day. United had no problems with that and stayed the 2 days - one at United's expense, one at ours, had meal coupons, for 3 squares for 1 day (2nd day on us). Be advised coupons don't cover full cost of meals at hotel so be prepared with extra cash to cover the difference. Upshot: We got 2 free tickets out of the deal to fly anywhere in the US for any flight within a year with no blackout dates. We are heading to Tampa tomorrow for our cruise to the Caribbean that starts Sunday with those tickets! Without those free tickets, our cruise vacation costs would have been an additional $400 ea. So we saved at least $800 by getting bumped back in December 2006! We had a great time in DC. We'll do it again if we have days available to handle layovers. Particularly when we're retired!
The Upfronts: NBC {AOL TV}
May 16th 2006 12:54PM My husband and I always watched E-Ring. It was the best that explained the workings of the Pentagon and the political ramifactions of many decisions even though it was fictional! It was so believable. Loved the interaction of all the cast. They were wonderful. Hope NBC reconsiders and brings it back. They could take one of the new shows off and put this one back on as the proposed new shows don't even sound like any we would ever watch!
