>>20194093 I used to think that too . Flew out of Cancun a few years ago , the airline said they had over booked the flight and we’re offering money and free hotel to not take the flight .

Got on the plane stewardess closed the door

I looked at my spouse there were at least 35 to 40 empty seats .Hmmm we were flying into Salt Lake City where the weather was a blizzard and the pilot was explaining to us we might have to do a touch and go if they can’t land . Pilot would apply full throttle and have to go into a hard bank or something to that effect . So the airline knew conditions were bad and needed to lighten the plane just in case . Moral take the money and the extra day …..
