Got up at too:early AM to get to BWI. They were asking for volunteers to get bumped from my flight with the sweetener of a free round-trip coupon so I figure what the heck? As long as I get home sometime today, it's all good. So they'd gotten as far as booking me on a later flight (getting in to SFO instead) when, at the very last minute, they discovered that someone who'd done on-line check-in last night hadn't actually boarded the plane after all, so they got me on the original flight after all. But I still got the free flight coupon. Score! And now that someone is staffing the podium at the gate here in Denver, I can double-check to make sure that my re-booking got un-booked and I really am on the fight I have a boarding pass for. (I tried verifying this on the phone, but got someone who couldn't quite untangle the rebooking from yesterday and the rebooking today. Finally she said, "If you have a boarding pass, you should be ok. I want more than a "should".)

ETA: So I'm in line at the podium to check on my status when the guy behind the counter calls my name and asks me to come up to the podium. (They wanted to swap my seat to keep a family together.) So clearly I am booked on this flight.
