Naturally no one did, so the airline told Allison Preiss that she had to forfeit her seat, since she had paid the lowest fare.

If nobody bites, they will kick off the lowest fare passenger by pulling them out of the boarding line. For a flight that THEY oversold. Unreal. — Allison Preiss (@allisonmpreiss) March 22, 2018 The gate agents then offered a $2,000 voucher. Pushing her luck, Preiss said she’d prefer a check which they were about to write (for $650), then another agent offered her a seat on the next flight out and a $10,000 voucher. The offer is in accordance with the American Airline’s new cap for passengers who offer up their seats.
