Keep'em flying
Hey, don't be that harsh... http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif I fly a lot and this happens only once a year.
Listen to this one. You won't believe it:
LHREZE 15JUN:
They confirmed in WT+ and went to the gate. Then the flight went tech and they offloaded about 20 passengers including revenue ones. The weird thing is that BA gave me a hotel and three meals for the following day. I checked with the ground staff before accepting this and they say it was common practice when given a boarding card.
LHR-GRU 16JUN
So the following day I go to try the GRU flight. It was way overbooked but I still tried. Bad news they were about 20 BA staff so I was left behind since they were only 5 seats available.
Here is when the luck changed. I stayed there for an extra 10 minutes and guess what?? 4 more seats became available and all the other BA staff who were there had gone so... I got the seat!
Heh, that sounds like something that happened to me recently. I was trying to nonrev to Amsterdam from Minneapolis on a flight that was overbooked by like 13. I actually did initially get a seat - but then the agent came on the airplane and pulled me off, said better luck next time. I decided to just hang around until the door was actually closed. Sure nuff, somebody who had checked in was nowhere to be found, there was one seat open - and I got it.
i think that is one of the basics when travelling on standby. if you have the time to wait and don't need to rush to catch another filght always wait until the doors are closed. there are always people who don't catch their flights,especially on big hubs where a lot of transfer passengers travelling.
Igna,
I'm glad to see that we took care of you http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif. Thats the way it is supposed to be once you've got the seat but not always the way things happen. I saw that after a long delay they had to offload all the staff. It was a shame as you had been bumped up to J however there was a problem with the A/C in zone 2 and the aircraft had to go with cabin 2 empty, hence the offloads http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_frown.gif ... it was full everywhere else .. they even had to downgrade a couple of full fare J class 'cos of the problem ( now that will cost ) http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif.
Glad to hear you got on OK the next day and hope you didn't get too bored spening the day at Heathrow. Always pays to wait until you see the undercarriage retract before giving up on a flight http://www.nonrev.net/infopop/emotic...on_biggrin.gif
