Field Trip
Musical Chairs, Now Boarding
The airline sold your seat twice. On purpose.
Miss Marigold takes the boys and girls to an airport gate to learn why flights are oversold, and she is the one who gets bumped while Scraps, who checked in online, is already sitting smug in seat 3A.
From the script
ScrapsThe airline sold your seat twice. On purpose. It's allowed.
Miss MarigoldSilly Scraps! Ten felt friends, ten felt seats! Full? We'll happily take the next plane!
Miss MarigoldBoys and girls, meet Clive! Why sell more tickets than seats?
CliveSome passengers never show up. An empty seat earns nothing.
Next time: jury duty pays you. A little.
