    Default Overbooked flights.

    So united was begging for volunteers to get on the next flight because THEY OVERSOLD. $600 voucher and next flight. I said to the ticket agent make it $2,000 cash and an exit row seat and you have a deal. No deal. We'll see if they drag anyone off. I'm boarding group 2, so it won't be me.

    Screw these greedy little pricks.

    If I didn't have anything else going on, I would have taken the deal, flying with a family of 4 gets expensive, and $600 would have helped significantly.

    I would have taken the deal, then used the credit to the United corporate office to complain.

    They're always overbooked. Flew to NC last month, was overbooked both ways! Vouchers went up to $1200.

    Yup, $1200 gift cards to target and such. Wasn’t worth it missing one day to see my family.

    Anyone know how long those vouchers are good?

    The credit Alaskan gave me for temporarily losing my luggage was only good for a year. I'm flying WestJet this year so won't get to use it.

    Most Airlines I’m familiar with are one year. I do think you can combine and transfer them though. I’m pretty sure my buddy took his family on a trip they took the deal, the. His wife and him used all the vouchers to go to Hawaii and got the flights for free.

    Happens a decent bit but moreso in the summer. They have historical data and use a matrix that shows how many people typically don’t show up, don’t make the flight due to weather or other connection delays, show up early and get on an earlier flight etc.

    They won’t drag anyone off again you can count on that. They will keep offering more until someone bites and takes the deal.
