A summer or two ago my wife and I were readying to return from CDG and lo and behold it was suddenly oversold due to a flight cancellation the previous day. This flooded all remaining US bound flights with the Hope Killers. ZED on other carriers to the US didn't look good. ZED to AMS and LHR didn't look good either. Ended up hopping a train to London to catch a wide open LHR-BOS in business class. The other option was train to AMS and catch a wide open flight there. Obviously taxes are much cheaper from AMS. The last minute train tickets were the real kick in the groin.
