- Video walk through of how to volunteer for a later flight on American Airlines.
This option seems to show up 1 day before departure. It is not even remotely a sure thing until money or vouchers have exchanged hands. They call you at the gate.
Every now and then it works out. The airlines are terrified of having another Dr. David Dao incident AND also want to avoid paying too much to bump passengers, so they have this system!
It’s too bad it’s a flight voucher and not actual cash?
Typically a voucher. You would have to exert a lot of pressure, and be the only one willing to give up their seat, to get cash.
What happens if you’ve already paid $30 and/or a pet fee to check your bag before you arrived at the gate and they’ve decided to select you for this? Do they refund you the $30 and pet fee, or do they keep it on file so you don’t have to pay it again when you board the later flight? And what happens to your checked bag? Does it arrive at your destination before you and hopefully is held in a secure location until you arrive later, or is it pulled out of the baggage cart and given back to you before it is loaded onto the plane?
There is always a conversation at the counter regarding minor details (but you must speak up). The ramification for checking bags or bringing pets on the plane is less flexibility with regard to vouchers. They are looking for people who have maximum flexibility.
American generally will route checked luggage to the final destination without any additional trouble as long as it is a domestic flight. Checked luggage arriving before you gets held at the baggage claim counter, which is watched by staff.
May you please let me know how do you claim the vouch ?
This video is just how to submit your name for consideration. They will call your name at the gate if they actually want to take you up on the offer. If you already received a voucher you can enter it in the payment stage of buying a ticket on AA.com.
