Definition
Overbooking compensation refers to the reimbursement or compensation provided to passengers by airlines when they are denied boarding due to the flight being overbooked. Airlines often sell more tickets than available seats to account for no-shows, and if all passengers show up, they may need to remove some from the flight.
Common Misperceptions
Many people believe that if they are bumped from a flight, they will automatically receive compensation, but this is not guaranteed and often depends on the airline’s policy and the circumstances surrounding the overbooking.
