I always envy oversea flights they can offer such generous amount to voluntarily kick you off your flight. You can even negotiate to be put up in 5-star hotel and fly business class in your next flight.

Why local airline here don't do that?

Because local airlines got puny shareholders to please; OR

Because local airlines don't give a f about you; OR

Because local airlines just don't bother enough?

Why 10:30p when you can write 2230

Tony: I know I appear in ur head now. go on

malaaysia i think underbook so cancel flights to get more passengers lol for delayed flight.

Who said so? I was late to board and the economy seat are all full. So, MAS put me in First Class from Malaysia to Japan and said sorry that the First Class to LA was full that I need to go back to coach.

Malaysia:

Did you get paid?

usually not money but credits

Now why the fuck you want malaysia to practice such a scummy business tactic?

i prefer not to oversell seats like america

Not for this. The situation you mentioned is different they need to take flight on the next day.

I was once got bumped off because missing the connecting flight due to delay in Japan. So, have to take JAL on different route through Honolulu. It would be several hours wait. So, they told me to just show flight ticket to get whatever food you like at an eatery while waiting.

When your time is worthless, then is fine.

That later flight has got nothing to do with being bumped off. They are attracted to the $$ offered so decided to inconvenient themselves voluntarily

True. There's one time I was waiting for my flight at Reykjavik airport, next gate keep repeating announcement asking for volunteers. It's was a Sunday pm flight to Seattle

Every 15 mins announcement they keep increasing the $$, ballooning to USD1000 and still no takers. I wished I was on that flight

only good for ppl where money is more precious than time.

Remember what happened when you were offered to leave the plane, but you don't want because you can't?

TS really seisohei, siapa in right mind wanna go through all that???

Our airlines do overbook their flight. Travel agents are able to sell more (using their system) than what we public see on airlines website

if travel alone and no rush then why not

only for very specific ppl la
