A resident of Washington received a voucher for $10 million from United Airlines — the client paid for something, so she refused his seat in a crowded plane.
As so often happens, the airline has sold more tickets for a flight from the capital in Austin than there were seats on the plane. Someone had to be denied boarding. To avoid scandal, the carrier has offered passengers a discount on future flights in the amount of $1000. In the case that wish is not found, delete from the queue for boarding was the passenger who bought the cheapest ticket.
This was announced on his page on Twitter Director of communications at American Progress Allison Preuss. She doesn’t yet know that is the man.
.@united offering $1K in travel credit for an oversold flight. If nobody bites, they will kick off the lowest passenger fare by pulling them out of the boarding line. For a flight that THEY oversold. Unreal.

Soon the situation changed: she was asked to sign a voluntary waiver of his place under the pretext that the seat is broken.
.@united tried to get me to sign a document that says I volunteered my seat on this plane when I was involuntarily denied boarding. Sketchy af.

The woman is not satisfied with this option, and then made her an offer she couldn’t refuse: the certificate on flights for $10 000 + and two vouchers for $10 for lunch.
«That’s how much they didn’t want to give me the cash,» commented the heroine of this story, the situation, putting the recording of the certificate in the amount of four zeros.

«In the end, they dragged me from the plane, and my dog did not die,» added Preuss, alluding to the recent incident involving United Airlines: a scandal last spring, which caused irreparable damage to the reputation of the company, and the recent state of emergency with the French bulldog suffocated during the flight through the fault of the flight attendants.
