Sunday we did fly home and were booked for the plane at 12.00 o clock to depart. I don't know how often that happens (but very often) but when we came to the check in counter we were told that the plane is overbooked and we have to wait til we get confirmation if we are "booked on the plane".... I always wonder how a plane can be overbooked. There are for example 100 seats - how the heck can they sell more than 100 tickets for the seats???? But now I know there are some "vip's" who don't have tickets for that flight but they - for whatever reasons - get a ticket and someone gets kicked out instead.....anyway..... so we were asked to "give our seats" away - Achim first said "No - no chance"... Then we were told that we are booked for the "waiting list" - means if someone won't use his ticked Achim would have been the first to get the seat - for me I would have to wait for 2 more persons who won't take that plane...
