United Flight Kicks Off Passengers Who Paid Least for Tickets

We love Tuesdays. Why, you ask? Because the day brings many travel tips and quips as "Travel Tuesday" on Twitter, and we're going to share our favorite with you. Got an avid travel twitterer we should follow? Let us know.

What happens when a small United Airlines flight from Burlington, Virginia to Washington DC oversell its cargo capacity and ends up with weight problem? Well, when this exact thing happened today for @brucepoontip's flight, the gate agents announce that the passengers who paid the least for the flight will be removed.

How unfair! But even more—how embarrassing, to be punished for scoring a deal perhaps months in advance when someone who paid top dollar the day before gets to remain on the plane and you're stuck back in the terminal, without a guaranteed flight for another two days and no hotel allowance from the airline.
