Southwest Airlines
Got bumped from 2 flights delayed 14hours Lost 4 hours of Pay Dallas

Hello my name is abimbola the ticket number was 764. I was supposed to fly from birmingham International airport (BHM) on Sunday 11/25/07 to Dallas Love field (DAL) at 4.45pm.
I got to the airport just on time I tried to print the boarding pass from the e-ticket counter it wouldn't print. I went to southwest desk and got a paper stating go to the counter by the gate for the boarding. I went through the ridiculous TSA securiy gate and barely getting the gate c10 where I talked to the agent.By the way the flight 764 was delayed to 5.15pm (and was still boarding when I got there) and when I went to the agent he told me the plane was full there was an alternate flight going out through Houston and there may be a seat we got to the gate and we were told by the guy at the gate that it was full. So the agent tried and failed to get me a seat until the next moring at 8.10am on 11/26/07 monday. I was told to get a voucher for a discount rate at the sheraton which was issued to me cost me $41 with free shuttle for 1 night. I eventually left at 8.10am the next day but I was delayed about 14hours lost time from work 4 hours to be exact. This should have never happened Dallas is one of their major stops. I think I should a refund and reimbursement for the hotel and food and lost work time. I even called their customer relations person (Jennifer) and was told nothing they could do.
