That cost them big time!
The bottom line was they combined 2 aircraft into 1 and UC was oversold by two seats. As we were on a Miles flight we were the vulnerable ones.
But as I say the compenation was excellent

I think this is what has happened with our flight, outbound has been cancelled and we have been put on later flight but that has now been oversold. I don't mind being on later flight but really want to know for sure as we want to be there for our daughter's birthday the next day..

If we are moved to the later flight either way, would we be entitled to ask for compensation? If so, would this be in the form of a flight upgrade or cash? I would prefer to just have our original flights but its good to know if we are changed.
