Personally my favorite Airlines to fly on is Delta Airlines and Southwest Airlines is because they hook you up really good on those Airlines in my humble opinion. I didn't understand how people would use a guy being beaten up and drug off of a plane as a joke. Sorry, I'm not a fan of people making fun of someone being hurt and using an Airline who is under so much fire like United Airlines. Story coming on how I got a free $350 voucher from US Airways (now American Airlines) to fly anywhere below. I just want to add before I share my story that it does not look good when an Airline or Airlines have to keep coughing up money to faithful passengers because their flights got canceled, overbooked, delayed, or any other convenience that he or she had to go through. The passengers is what help keep these big Airlines in business because they are constantly flying whether it's business trips, vacation trips, going to college out of state, etc. Just thought that I would add my 2 Cents now on to my story on how US Airways had to give me $350 for overbooking my flight.
Columbia Metropolitan Airport
Dulles International Airport
Bradley International Airport (BDL)
I will never forget when I got discharged from the Army Reserve (general but honorable discharge) I was in Fort Jackson, SC and was taken back to Columbia. I took a cab I remember back in 2010 to the Airport. Everything was all set I would fly out of Columbia Metropolitan Airport out of Columbia then I will connect to Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC and then I would connect to Philadelphia International Airport (well that was the plan), and back home to Bradley International Airport (BDL) in Hartford. The military booked the ticket so the Airlines that the military booked the tickets with were the most unpopular Airlines to people that being US Airways I can't complain because I didn't have to pay anything. Here is what happened, when I arrived at Columbia Metropolitan Airport I remember the cab driver telling me that I owed him $32 for taking me to the Airport. My family & I was used to tipping so I gave the cab driver $40 and left him a $8 tip. I made my connection from Columbia Metropolitan Airport to Dulles International Airport. You have to understand I've just been discharged from the military and I had a really bad head cold from going out in the field (in cool & cold temperatures mind you) and I had them check my bag full of stuff which I was able to keep that the military didn't take back from me once I was discharged. I was in Dulles International Airport in DC and discovered that the flight to Philadelphia International Airport was overbooked and when your connection is to an overbooked flight they are preparing to board immediately and you must be on that flight to make your connection. However, by some chance I missed my connecting flight to Philly.
Meanwhile, I had a chance to talk to a brunette hair woman, who worked at Dulles International Airport in DC. I was in a dilemma and I didn't know how I was going to get home because when the military does things you don't always know if you are going to be able to get another flight again because of a situation which I didn't know which occurred with my flight to Philly being so overbooked. It was nothing but the favor from God because the woman who worked at Dulles International Airport in DC said to me, "I'm going to give you a $350 voucher for you to fly anywhere for a year and I do apologize to you that your Philadelphia International Airport flight to Philly was overbooked and you were not able to go from there to Bradley International Airport. I am going to book a flight for you directly from Dulles International Airport here in DC to Bradley International Airport in Hartford for you." I was so grateful to get a free voucher and I thanked the woman for doing that for me. It was nothing but the favor of the Lord for sending the right person that worked at Dulles International Airport in DC across my path. When I arrived home at Bradley International Airport, I had a chance to talk to my mom on one of the phones at the Airport (this was before I got a cellphone yeah it's true, lol) and my mom had told me that my credit card was paid off because I had closed the account with Citibank (UPromise MasterCard) and everything and I was also helping out my mom those months I was away in the military in Fort Jackson, SC. I was glad that everything worked out and a really good Bible verse concerning favor in Proverbs 8:35 simply says, "For whoso findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord." My free voucher that was good for a year was good either round trip or one way. I made sure I put that voucher to good use when I chose a state I have never visited before.
