There is nothing worse than being stuck because of a delayed or overbooked flight, but these passengers made the most of a bad situation after an announcement made by the airline. Natalie Bode, a sports reporter from Atlanta, US, shared footage on TikTok of passengers scrambling to get off a Delta Air Lines flight, after they were offered US$1600 to give up their ticket. "Never seen people move so quickly out of an airplane, but I respect it," Bode wrote in the caption. It can be common practice among some airlines (particularly in the US) to overbook flights to ensure aircraft are full in case some travellers cancel or don't show up for their bookings. The incident occurred at Las Vegas airport last week, after a flight to Atlanta was delayed, Bode told the Daily Dot. In the comments, some wondered if the amount offered would simply be flight credits, but Bode clarified: "It's an Amex gift card or direct upload to Apple wallet". And since the offer was made in cash, she said "so many people ran they didn't have any left to redeem and turned people away”. In a tweet Bode added the need to remove people from the flight was due to the "heat index". It turns out that high temperatures can actually make planes 'too heavy' to take off. Planes get 1% less lift with every 3C of temperature rise, per CNN.<br/>
