GREAT NEWS FROM AIRLINES....FINALLY!

If you've ever been bumped from a flight because it was oversold, you know how frustrating that can be, WELL now the airlines will pay you for your lost time and pay you well!! Yesterday the transportation department announced that airlines who oversell flights MUST compensate passengers who are involuntarily bumped to another plane....here's how it works...

If you get bumped from your flight, the airline will pay you $400 if you get on another plane and arrive at your destination within two hours of the original arrival time or within 4 hours if flying internationally! AND here's the big one, if your arrival is delayed even longer that...the airline has to pay you $800!!!! WOW...we say overbook and bump us EVERYTIME!!!
