Passengers on a Delta flight from Michigan to Minnesota say that the airline offered them $10,000 cash to give up their seats on an oversold domestic flight.
“If you have Apple Pay, you’ll even have the money right now,” the flight attendant said, Aten wrote.
Not seriously comparing, but that is a big chunk of cash. |
Damn, that is a generous offer. Many years ago we were on a flight from Denver to Vancouver and it was overweight so they were looking for ten volunteers to deplane. They would re-accommodate on a flight 3 hours later and we're offering $300.
From recent experience the other day YYC going to the US did not seem bad at all. We didn't check bags but the lines seemed reasonable and the security/US Customs was very quick. We fly through YYZ in August and that seems like a disaster and I'm genuinely concerned that we are going to run into issues.
