Some airlines

She had an assign seat and so did someone else. According to the announcement the plane had been over booked. That has happen to me me a few times and the airlines will ask if you want to give up your seat for a free ticket. Since she was flying on a discounted ticket from a friend who works for the airline and got here a deal on the ticket, she was the one bumped. It was not a stand by ticket. It was because she was not a full paying passanger is what I found out.

BINGO!!
Sad to say but in an oversold situation and with no volunteers, the lowest fare ticket holders get pulled.
Was she offered any type of compensation??
Missing the last flight of the evening, as a courtesy, she should have at least been offered meal or even room vouchers from the airline's CSA.
Are you sure it wasn't a "Buddy Pass" that she was flying on?
