Why does this post reference "gay sex?" Why not just sex?

Now don't be anal about it.

You are such an arrogant .

You need to narrow that statement down. That describes 3/4th of the people posting on here

Thanks for illustrating my point. The purpose of the article is to slander a victim. The audience of the daily mail views homosexuality as slanderous. I know you agree, and that attitude is disgraceful.

What makes this even more funny is the fact that I tagged your post with a "Winner."

i'm still shocked nobody took the 800$ and free hotel night

I've flown to Florida for free a few times taking the vouchers.

Maybe the incident with United is cause for Americans to rethink the whole flying experience.

United Did A Bad Thing, But TSA Has Re-Accommodated Airline Passengers for Years

The flying public always goes for the same thing, the cheapest fare they can find. Flying isn't miserable because of anything else but people always looking for the cheapest fare.

How is it that a sporting venue can sell 50k, 75k and even in a few cases 100k tickets to sporting event after sport event and not once do they double book the same seat but in the case of airlines, it seems this occurs more often than we know?

On any given flight 10% of passengers don't show up. It sounds crazy, but that's what happens. 9 times out of 10 airlines are fine overselling them, sometimes they lose.

They lost BIG time on this gamble.

They had the right to throw him off the plane. I agree with what they did, but not how they did it.

I don't feel they should be able to bump full fare customers off flights. Yes, I know it's in the fine print, but that doesn't make it right. If the airlines asks and a few say yes, okay, but not to forcibly (not physically) make them accept the bump.

Whether it is right or not you accept that when you purchase the ticket. We got bumped on the way home from Ireland in October. Did it suck? Yep. But I did the same thing I guarantee this guy did, buy the cheapest fare. I got what I paid for, instead of paying the premium to fly someone else.

I've never been bumped when flying full fare, thank goodness, only when flying interline standby.

I've been bumped by Aer Lingus in Dublin, Delta once in Hartford, and another time in Minneapolis, all on paid tickets. For the Delta ones I got 1600 worth of vouchers, which for 3 extra hours was fine by me.

Hopefully you were just trying to be funny.

One consumer expert stated that if you want to fly and make sure you don't get bumped, don't buy the cheapest tickets on the flight as when it comes time to bump, they go straight to the cheapest fares as they will cost the Airline the least.

I got so many vouchers flying in and out of Newark I can't remember how many.
I remember giving about 6 of them away.

One time I was flying back to Minnesota, they were getting a blizzard and nothing was getting in. First flight gets cancelled, second flight gets cancelled, we get to the third and I look at the airport weather observation, wasn't a chance in hell we were getting in. They asked for volunteers so they could put some more fuel on board. Knew it was an easy 800 bucks because we weren't going anywhere AND I had a guaranteed seat on the next flight.

Flight gets cancelled and I got the next one no problem. Got paid for a flight that never left the gate
