On the way to Texas to give a speech at an IT conference and spend a few days relaxing with other security and IT types. Should be a lot of fun, we'll see what happens. I better finish this darn talk; they are expecting me to give it tomorrow at 1pm CDT....
The flight was looking full, so when I checked in I let them know I could do bumping if needed. The check in person really appreciated that, and it turned out they did need one seat for someone. So I popped onto a flight that would get me in 2 hours later, and got $400 or so in compensation. They were really amazed at how ok I was with this, my thought is if my schedule is flexible (it is, I don't have to be into the hotel before 5) I have plenty of time to figure things out and someone who might need to be there will get there.
They also refunded by boarding upgrade and gave me a preboard card. It's nice, and I do appreciate it.
