You Can Be Suddenly Downgraded on a Flight, Here's Why

Can you be 'downgraded' on a flight? You arrive at the airport, anticipating a pleasant flight - after all, you've paid more for that extra legroom! Or a comfy window seat. Or a business class. That's when you find out you've been.. downgraded! How come? And if you can get downgraded, is the opposite possible too? Then, what other secrets do airlines hide?

Experts claim downgrades do happen - and rather frequently at that! The reasons vary: the airplane can get unexpectedly swapped for a smaller one because of some technical issues. There have also been cases when people bought first-class tickets only to find out later there was no first class on the plane whatsoever! But the rules of downgrading and upgrading aren't the only secrets airlines, flight attendants, and airport staff don't want you to know. Interested? Then check out these surprising facts every traveler will like to know.

What would you do if your airline downgraded you?

I like how this video is giving us airplane and airport tips even though we can't go anywhere cuz of lockdown

[leahgracefecteau]

Great video it’s important to know yes I don’t expect my airplane ride to be perfect but if I pay or first class or anything like that then I expect to sit there I’m not giving up my seat to even to a family with kids because I pay for it and I think everyone deserve to treat themselves to a nice flight

Unless your absolutely need to be at your destination on time, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS take a bump. It puts money in your pocket, a night in the hotel (as needed), and covers a meal or two. Plus you MAY get upgraded - depending upon demand. When I hear a gate announcement that they are looking for volunteers, I'm one of the first people to put my name on the list. Bumps can be enough to pay for your next trip!

One time I was upgraded to business class when I was travelling back home from Kenya. Dunno how old I was then but I was pretty young and was travelling alone so I had to be assisted by an air hostess at all times. She simply asked me if I wanted to sit in business class and I just said yes.

have more room for ads, and more ads mean an increase in revenue for creators. Breaking that 10-minute mark is particularly important: that’s the point at which YouTube begins letting creators insert ads into the middle of their videos, rather than just running an ad at the beginning.

One YouTuber, Shelby Church, found that she made three times as much revenue for videos that ran over 10 minutes than those that were shorter. Her longer videos even had more viewers, Church noted, incentivizing creators to make longer videos and plug more ads.

“You can add as many ads as you want, actually, ” Church said in the video discussing how YouTube ads work. “I could throw in an ad every 30 seconds, but no one is going to watch that. That’s ridiculous. So I started adding two ads to

There is absolutely cargo space beneath the cabin floor on medium sized jets and over. Even the Embraer 190 as low as it is, has cargo space under the main cabin. Where else should the cargo go for the flight? In another following plane? Smaller aircraft like the DASH-8 and Fokker 50 has cargo compartments in rear. The ATR even has cargo in the front. When posting aviation clips, make sure you have your facts right. :-)
