Thank you so fucking much ________(airline) for overbooking my flight today and down sizing the air-craft! Now I am stuck at the airport waiting for the next flight. Luckily I came over an hour early before my first flight, and I was one of 4 people who were able to get on the later flight. Thanks for caring more about my money than whether or not I arrive at my destination on time. Don’t you ask for our phone numbers so you can tell us when something like this is happening?! Oh, and I really appreciate your $200 voucher. Too bad I won’t be using it because your airline always fucking screws things up.

hey, at least you got a voucher!
in all my travel woes, not once did the company admit its wrong yet. you are lucky.
Back in December my Air C flight got delayed, all I got was an upgrade to a “meal” which equated to 4 bucks on that food cart. Oh, sorry, you got into Montreal at 11:30 pm 4 hours behind schedule, which meant that I didn’t get to my hotel until 12:30 am, and slept at total of 4 hours for a morning meeting. Yay, air travel!
Honestly WJ is better than the AC fuckers, they screw up just as much as eachother but WJ hooks you up, plus AC’s flight attendants look like used up old whores and act like my bitch grade 7 homeroom teacher.
All I got when my flights were delayed was food.
Yes, that’s right….. just throw food at the sheeple and they’ll shut their yaps.
A-holes.
Ebay/Kijiji the voucher… you don’t have to deal with them again AND you get some $$$ back to invest in some toner to write a nice, extremely long letter about your disgust to their head office.
I’ll take that voucher since you won’t be using it.
This happened to me back in the summer, except the reason it was overbooked was because there were international soldiers from another country that were on an “emergency” something or other going to Ottawa. They gave me the 200$ voucher too, and a meal in the airport.. which I’m totally appreciative of, except that 200$ today doesn’t get you anywhere in air travel.. you can’t even buy a one way ticket for that on AC anymore.
