Delta offered a $500 voucher for any volunteers willing to give up their seat on the flight, which was overbooked. So I took the offer. And I got upgraded to business class on the flight to JFK, AND the plane was an Airbus A380! I got to sit in the "upper deck" of the largest passenger airplane in the world. My first flight ever, when I was 13, was on a 747 and ever since I've been fascinated by airplanes with staircases - and the A380 has TWO of them. I geeked out so hard, I spent half the flight running around taking pictures of all the bells and whistles. They have a live camera feed from the tail so you can watch your own plane flying over the earth(!) In the end, i'll be getting home only 4 hours late. And the voucher thing is great symmetry too, since I paid for this plane ticket mostly with vouchers from other times I've been bumped off fights.
