You paid for your airline ticket, you place your luggage on the overhead, you take your assigned seat ready for take off and next thing you know, the flight attendant randomly asks if you can give up your seat and be booked on the next flight because the airlines was overbooked otherwise consequences will occur.

Do you give up your seat?

pretty sure there was some compensation given on top of the extra seat.

i'd probably do it for the money if i were flying solo.

Depends on the circumstances. I would definitely pass up on a flight if I was offered $800 if I'm just going home from college, since I live 15 minutes from the airport here in Wisconsin. The net gain of $500 would be well worth it.

But if it's for the purpose of making it to a wedding, graduation, or etc., then hell no. I have an obligation to be somewhere, which is why I bought a ticket for that flight. The ONLY way I'd consider it is if they guaranteed I could get on a flight later that same day, and that I would be reimbursed.

Depends entirely what I am flying for. If it's something important, like a job or visiting a sick relative, no. If it's something mundane and my plans can easily be changed, sure, though I'd probably expect some sort of compensation for my inconvenience.

What's the point of planning for things accordingly if you'll just end up being booted from a plane?

If I had no urgent place to be then I'd give it up for adequate compensation

If I was rich enough I'd do my upmost to make it difficult for airlines, their shitty practices of overbooking flights deserve some kind of comeback

For the right price. Unless it's a work thing, then no.

no, because chances are if I'm flying that day I had something planned at my destination that can't wait

This. And lol at them trying to threaten me. I'd have my attorney on speakerphone before security got to the plane.

For 800 bucks, a hotel, and free tickets back? Hell yeah, unless I had somewhere important to be.

Depends entirely on what the circumstance is. If I'm going away for a short holiday and I miss a night then no.

If I'm going home and don't mind the delay then yeah sure.
Kind Regards,

I would shit all over the seat if that's what it took to stay on the plane
I may not go down in history, but I will go down on your sister.
