Vacation slide is the bomb. That is all

Oh yeah! In fact awhile back we enhanced it so that if you have vacation starting in month A, spilling over into month B, you can slide just the portions in the current month. Knowing that, I bid vacation starting Nov 29, extending to Dec 5. Using vacation slide, I slid the two days in November to Wed/Thursday of Thanksgiving, and the following month I slid the days in December from Dec 23-27. How about that? A Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation, all for the price of a week that originally touched neither!

Hmmm, mine has the potential to be a winner. Got two LCA trips mid month. Neither are heinous so to fly them won't be so bad but to get them bought would make me a Winner!

Oh, did I mention that I forgot to bid off for my anniversary? LCA trip buy would enable me to recover from that bidding faux pas....

I heard a gate agent trying to buy off an oversold flight with a "gift card" instead of "future travel credit."

Is that new?

I heard it myself back in late June. Prepaid AMEX gift card. I was on my one great team pass to Prague from JFK when apparently the AA flight that night had cancelled. Our flight somehow in an hour went from 5 empty seats to oversold.
The CZ Pilsner beer festival was the next day and we had already been upgraded to first for the flight, I was already tasting some fresh pilsner.
The gate agent said they were now oversold by up to 12 people and the bidding started at $200 AMEX gift card, car service to/from manhattan with hotel, and upgrade to First the next day.
I kept my head down and boarded when first class boarded. By that time the amount of the gift card offer had gone to $600, then $800, and then $1200 even before I boarded. I was amazed! No idea what the final amount they got to before they boarded coach.

Delta dollars were never even mentioned, right to the AMEX gift cards.

They could have had me for $400, but I'm sure had I raised my hand they'd said, well you can just give your pass away but were not handing an employee any amex card.

It was great beer though!
