Slight issue from the passenger sat next to us on the plane coming home, resulted in us being reseated, only vacant seats first class! That will do
Same thing happened to me many years ago in West Africa, it was a pleasant surprise. Previously I used to live in the States and was supposed to connect in Newark N.J for the UK. On two occasions I was asked if I would be willing to stay overnight in a nice hotel and receive $250 cash as they were overbooked. I had nice nights in a downtown bar getting to know the locals and meandered both times, wobbling with a big smile back to the hotel. Happy days.
Downside was that the guy had to be removed and as a result a hand luggage audit had to be carried out to establish that all the bags on board were legit any unaccounted for by owners were removed and his baggage fro the hold had to found and removed.
