We tried. Dh is an airline employee so our our flights can be free/or low cost but we’re also the first to be bumped for paying passengers. So we got to the airport at 4:40am knowing it would be tight. At the end of boarding there was one seat left. I couldn’t believe we missed it by one seat. The only other flight that had seats was three hours delayed and we would have missed our connection. So she went to school and I went to work. Bummed bc I’m sure it was awesome! Even though we didn’t make this flight, we’d totally try again if something like this pops up. And we obv made it to dd2’s VB game and they won the championship so that was fun!
