But on the other hand, it seemed that sometimes the airline's rules were rather arbitrary. 'Oh, there are 6 people on this plane that might be late for their connecting flights, why don't I route you all through Vegas because that's fun!' compared to 'Well, we overbooked by 52 people, it's your problem, not ours. So insincerely sorry you'll miss your cruise.'
