Overbooked Flight? What to Know If an Airline Bumps You
Briefly

Airlines can oversell flights to maximize revenue, and while it creates inconvenience for passengers, compensation is typically available for those who are bumped.
When airlines bump passengers, they need to rebook them on later flights, often accommodating them on other carriers—though compensation amounts and forms can vary.
The airline’s contract of carriage specifies their responsibilities; while compensation is mandated, the amount and format (cash, credits, vouchers) are at the airline's discretion.
