• how to beat the system

    From JIM WELLER@1:123/140 to MICHAEL LOO on Saturday, April 14, 2018 19:38:00

    I saw this on a website I frequent ...

    Let's us fly free:

    A few years ago I was flying from Detroit to Charlotte. Prices were
    higher than I would have liked, so I checked a couple of other
    nearby destinations. Found that a flight to Greensboro (two hours
    away by car) was much cheaper, yet somehow still connected through
    Charlotte (Detroit -> Charlotte -> Greensboro).

    So I said screw it, bought a one-way, and carried on my bag, with
    plans to abandon the flight in Charlotte.

    All went well. As I was walking through Charlotte airport, I passed
    the Greensboro gate and heard the agent asking for volunteers (the
    flight was oversold).

    So with a heavy heart and Oscar-winning sympathy for the gate
    agent's predicament, I agreed to give up my Greensboro ticket for an
    extra $200 in vouchers. Then I skated out of the airport feeling as
    though I'd beat the unfathomable system for once.
