Fourth of July 'travel drama': Airlines warn passengers of flight delays, cancellations

U.S. travelers are facing hundreds of flight cancellations and thousands of delays this Fourth of July weekend. Larger crowds could strain airlines.

On Monday morning, Delta Airlines oversold a flight and as a result, offered eight passengers $10,000 to give up their seat. Also, the major airlines are warning everyone that flying this summer will be fraught with flight cancellations and delays because of pilot shortages, personnel shortages, etc. With that said, how likely are you to give up your seat if offered a substantial amount of cash?

Be hard to pass up 10 grand.

I tell you tho, I am so happy we're driving to my cruise at the end of the month. Every day, so many flights are canceled...

For $10,000 I would give up my seat if it didn't interfere with any important plans. That would be $20,000 counting my wife. I've flown four times in my life, three times to Honolulu and once to Salt Lake City. I would rather drive and see the sights if I can make it there in one day.

 

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I would let my wife fly on the airplane and I will take the 10 grand and go home

If I had nothing urgent going on I would take the cash too.

My wife and I were once offered $2,000 each to give up our seats on a flight from Texas to Mn. and guaranteed seats on a flight out in 4 hours . We jumped at the chance and were thinking of all the extra free trips to see the grandkids we could get for $4,000. At the very last second before they shut the gate door they announced that they had found seats for us on that plane- so we were stuffed in like sardines and had a miserable trip back home.

Wait?

He's straight?!

 

[UnionStrong]

Mother er!

 

[sailfish]

Hell yeah! I'd take the $10k then spend it as fast as possible since its value halves daily with this brandonflation.

 

[over9five]

$10 k? That's 3 tanks of gas!

 

[Operational needs]

$10 k? That's 3 tanks of gas!

And a free car wash.

 

[Commercial Inside Release]

$9,999.99 and not one penny more. $10k has tax RAMifications. How much if they send the screaming bitch with 12 suitcases on a slow boat to China? If it is $10k I say fair trade!
