well first of all, people should never expect to be upgraded, its a "privoledge" not a right. and the airline will always upgrade premier flyers over regular "joes" (BA actually does a good job upgrading people-even though it can be a little frustrating for the people who purchased business class tickets-as if a group of people are upgraded than the noise level for the first hour or two is pretty loud with oh my god this is sooo cool i have been upgraded, this is how the other side lives, what does this do.....however to me it doesnt matter let them have their fun and relax on a flight)
Well what does the OP want? a red carpet? the airlines were reasonable and did what they should have done (a room and a vouchar) and if this was weather related than you were lucky they gave you that and it would kinda explain the thursday night flight being overbooked since other people would have been delayed and rebooked also.....i dont see the wrong in what they did, a hastle and inconvienient yes, but their fault and problem i wouldnt say as much, they provided you with shelter and a vouchar (maybe it wasn't up to your standards) but they did the right thing, as they wont put people up in Hiltons as it is very expensive and not cost worthy
sinbad he wasn't bumped, the flight was delayed so the connection was missed, aka no plane there to be bumped off of, they rebooked the OP on the next available flight (originally it seems as standby) now he is booked on another flight (friday not sure if it woulda been confirmed or standby-but the OP changed his plans to fly with another airline) again your taking things out of context, but the important thing is even though the OP was late and was an inconvieniance they are safe and their standards maybe high but the airline provided the way it should have
