Have you ever been in the airport, at your gate most likely waiting to board only to hear an announcement over the intercom stating that your flight has been overbooked? I am almost certain you have because overbooked flights are a fact of life!!! But back to the point, the attendant goes on to ask if anyone would like to "volunteer" to give up their seat on the flight for some sort of compensation. Depending on the length of your travel, they may offer a voucher between $200 and $400; other times they offer a first class seat on the flight you're bumped too; or even a combination of both. 


The question at hand... Is the "Voluntary Bump" worth it? 

Ofcourse it all comes down to your individual situation, but if you can stand waiting around in the airport for an extra couple hours the "Voluntary Bump" may actually may be gratifying! (but ONLY for those with a flexible itinerary, time to waste and ultimately the willingness to sacrifice their travel plans for a possible weekend trip in puerto rico or first class flight to some random city they've been dying to visit.)

On the other hand, for all the play it safe, I'd rather not take the risk type of people the "Voluntary Bump" would never be worth it, but hey... to each it's own right? 

What's funny to me is that their are some people that actually do this for a living, like making sure they're flight is overbooked and arriving at the airports with hopes of capitalizing on the "Voluntary Bump". They visit sites like   www.seatcounter.com  and actually research inventory management, (aka overbooking). These people know the markets with higher tendency of no-shows, they know the airports most likely to offer the best compensation, they mastered the system and they profit from it regularly. 

So next time you have the "Voluntary Bump"  option, it'll be up to you to make that nail-biting decision....

DEAL OR NO DEAL 


Finding flights can be such a headache. Maybe it's just me always wanting the best deal possible... I never want to buy a ticket because in my mind I think the fare will decrease. But on the flip it's a greater possibility that the fare will increase because the date is obviously nearing the longer you wait.


So I'm going to Antigua, found a ticket on Kayak (I'll get to that in a second) it's a Continental flight $420 non-stop. I think it's a great price but I haven't quite purchased the ticket I just keep watching it, making sure it's still there. Actually as soon as I get done I'm going to go book my flight!

Now about Kayak... I absolutely love Kayak, I depend on it for finding the best fares. It's a travel search engine, so you don't actually purchase airfare or anything from the site instead it searches hundreds of travel sites from all over and displays the information for you to choose. Once you find the best flight price/time, etc. it links you to the site to purchase so this avoids you having to go to 100 different sites comparing. Kayak does it all for you, and what makes it more delightful is that they show the FULL price taxes included!!!!!! Don't you hate when you find a flight for a great price, then they add like $200 in "taxes" and you're so sad cause you thought you had a deal? Right I hate that too!!!

Another option if you are planning in advance you should check out www.farecast.com; On Farecast you can track a flight and they'll e-mail you the daily status of the flight prices, predict fare trends and even suggest if you should wait or buy. It's so cool.

So next time you're looking for a flight check out:
www.kayak.com
www.farecast.com

I'm actually going to go book my flight to Antigua now.... before the fare increases!
