Thread: United airlines brag!
-
Sat, Jun 8th, 2013, 06:50 PM #1
Yesterday I flew from Detroit city to billings montana via Denver. When checking in, the Kiosk asked if I'd accept $150 voucher to take a different flight because the flight 'might' be over booked! I said yes!!
All I had to do was spend almost 4 hours hanging at the Denver airport, which I kind of enjoyed anyway!!
I think I'm going to use my voucher to visit Utah, and then use my $100 frontier airlines voucher (same reason, same airport, last fall) to come back home! Almost free flight!! Yahoo!!This thread is currently associated with: Via RailLast edited by vesper; Sat, Jun 8th, 2013 at 06:52 PM.

NIce brag..Mr P often gets asked about this but since he's flying for business meetings, it's a lot harder to justify.
Though sometimes he's stopped in the states rather than get an over booked flight which lands at midnight and he has a 2 hour drive home.
Short answer : no Long answer : NOOOOOOOOOOO!

So nice when that works out. I used accept those offers before kids. Not so easy now.

Sweet! Denver sure has enough going on that you can kill four hours in there. Last time we went through, this happened due to weather in the winter when they have to add more fuel and kick people off until the next flight. Unfortunately DH had to work the next day so someone else took them up on the offer which includes supper, a night in a hotel and the voucher. Pretty nice deal if you can be flexible. Hope your next trip is fabulous!

Wow! That's terrific! DH and I are actually flying from Detroit to Denver this Tuesday. Different airline, though. But we could certainly be flexible!
