Any experienced and frequent flier would know the benefits of bumping off a flight, and this may cause them to rush at the beginning of the first announcement.
Most frequent travelers know that these announcements signal an overbooked flight, with free trips and/or cash vouchers for the first volunteers to change their travel plans. Airline over-sales swelled 12% in the first nine months of the year, giving flexible fliers a greater chance to land some of these freebies and offset the rising cost of air travel.
Here are the 5 easy steps to get free tickets, and if you are lucky enough, you might even get two in a single day.
1. Call your airline one night before your flight and ask if it the flight is overbooked.
2. Take a print out of the flight schedules for all of the other airlines leaving for your destination from the departure airport.
3. Make sure you get to the airport gate at least 90 minutes before the scheduled departure time to make sure you are first in line at check-in.
4. Do Volunteer, but before you agree to be bumped, make sure that the airline is offering a free ticket.
5. Moreover, if you are in no hurry, you can get bumped from the next flight, repeat the above steps, and get a second free ticket in one day!
Best of luck in getting bumped!
