A little about Playa Zipolite, The Beach of the Dead . . .

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Southern Mexico, on the Pacific Ocean. A little bit about my favorite little get-away on this small world of ours.

Zipolite, a sweaty 30-minute walk west from Puerto Angel, brings you to Playa Zipolite and another world. The feeling here is 1970's - Led Zep, Marley, and scruffy gringos.

A long, long time ago, Zipolite beach was usually visited by the Zapotecans...who made it a magical place. They came to visit Zipolite to meditate, or just to rest.

Recently, this beach has begun to receive day-trippers from Puerto Angel and Puerto Escondido, giving it a more TOURISTY feel than before.

Most people come here for the novelty of the nude beach, yoga, turtles, seafood, surf, meditation, vegetarians, discos, party, to get burnt by the sun, or to see how long they can stretch their skinny budget.

I post WWW Oaxaca, Mexico, Zipolite and areas nearby information. Also general budget, backpacker, surfer, off the beaten path, Mexico and beyond, information.

REMEMBER: Everyone is welcome at Zipolite.

How to get cash from an overbooked flight 🙅‍♀️💺💰

Issue 100: TSA PreCheck vs Global Entry.
 
 
Travel, at least domestic travel, has rebounded in a big way. The number of people who passed through TSA checkpoints over the past week was just shy of 2019’s numbers for the same week, and airplanes are just as full—and in some cases more full, thanks to staffing issues and cancellations—than they were pre-pandemic.

All this makes for perfect conditions for a flight to be oversold, meaning there are more ticketed passengers than available seats. When that happens, an airline will start by asking for volunteers to wait for the next available flight in exchange for cash. Sometimes a lot of it.

If your plans are flexible, here’s what you need to know and how to get the most compensation possible:
On nearly every flight, a percentage of people who bought tickets don’t actually show up. They may have missed a connecting flight, they may have slept through their alarm or hit traffic or just decided to skip the trip.

Airlines—knowing some customers will miss a flight—try to maximize profits not by selling 100 tickets for a 100-person plane, but by selling 105 or even 110 tickets. Even when a flight is oversold, most of the time enough passengers no-show that the situation resolves itself.

But on occasion, everyone shows up and the airlines need to bump a handful of passengers at the gate.

With leisure travel demand almost fully recovered, flights are now nearly as full as they had been pre-pandemic. The result: more and more flights are being oversold.
While oversold flights are still the exception, when an airline has too many passengers show up for a flight, they offer increasing levels of compensation—often thousands of dollars—to solicit volunteers. They’re almost always able to sufficiently sweeten the pot to get enough volunteers.

In other words, you’ll almost never get bumped against your will. In the first quarter of 2022, 7,333 people were involuntarily bumped—a rate of 0.44 per 10,000 passengers. The airline with the highest rate of involuntary bumps in the first quarter of 2022 was Frontier, followed by Southwest and American.

It’s legal for airlines to do this, but they gotta pay up, especially if you wind up getting significantly delayed.

For domestic flights, it works out like this:
  • For 0-1 hour delay, no compensation
  • For 1-2 hours delay, 2x the one-way fare (up to $775)
  • For 2+ hours delay, 4x the one-way fare (up to $1,550)
For international flights, the delay length needs to be a bit longer to get the big money:
  • For 0-1 hour delay, no compensation
  • For 1-4 hours delay, 2x the one-way fare (up to $775)
  • For 4+ hours delay, 4x the one-way fare (up to $1,550)
Here’s the full list of rules and travelers’ rights under federal law in an oversell situation.
If the airline needs volunteers on your next flight, here’s how you can make sure you get the most compensation possible.

First, if they need multiple volunteers, make sure you politely request that your compensation amount be the same as the final volunteer’s. You don’t want to volunteer at $300, only for the final person to get $1,000.

Second, don’t be afraid to negotiate for other perks. Airline agents won’t necessarily mention what’s on the secret menu, but just like at In-N-Out, it 100% exists. You can ask for meal vouchers, hotel vouchers, access to lounges, a better routing on your replacement flight, even business class seats. Desperate airlines take desperate measures to find volunteers, especially when they need more than a few.

Finally, if you’re lucky enough to get bumped on Delta, know that their Delta Choice Gift Card vouchers can be converted into Visa gift cards—functionally equivalent to cash. (This is significantly better than most airlines, where the voucher can only be used on that airline.)
