[[The Great Banshee Switch|A way to do this]] with the [[Banshee]] is to do an upwards barrel roll as you are being boarded. If timed right, you will be flipped upward as soon as you are ejected, and you can come right back down on the Banshee to [[Boarding|reboard]] it. Another way to gain this achievement with a Banshee is to drive it into the ground when someone is nearby. They will most probably hijack it, and it will be easy for you to board it back. <!--I believe this should be taken out as there are no Banshees in FFA-->


The vehicle must still have the hijacker in it; if you kill them and then board the vehicle, the achievement does not count.

Another way to unlock this achievement is to get the ghost on snowbound and drive it into the underground section where the shotgun is. Simply wait for someone to get up to the ghost and hijack it, and since there is not much room for the hijacker to move, you can very easily hijack the ghost back without the enemy getting away.

If you are in a large vicinity when you are hijacked (eg. High ground, Isolation), shoot an over-charged plasma pistol shot at the ghost, as this will "pistol whip" the vehicle and stun it for 3-5 seconds. However trying the method above is an easier way to unlock this achievement, since the enemy will most likely have left the vehicle before you can re-board it.
 
The match does not have to be ranked, so it's possible to get a friend, go to Rumble Pit, and get the achievement there. This can even be done with a guest account on the same console. So if you're really having trouble, just jump into a rumble pit map with a vehicle, grab one then sneak off somewhere safe and using the guest account on the other pad hijack yourself. You can then re-hijack the vehicle and unlock the achievement. It works even better with a friend who also needs the achievement, so you can both work together.
