Have you suffered overbooking on the flight you had booked for your trip?
I have suffered only once, many years ago, and it is really unpleasant when you arrive at your time in front of the check-in desk and find out that there is no place on your flight, and you will lose it ...
Perhaps on one of your trips you will have seen that, when boarding, the speakers are asking for volunteers to, in exchange for a monetary amount, not fly on the plane that is about to leave, ... and there are always volunteers .
Or it may have happened to you that, surprisingly, when you get on the plane you are invited to fly in a higher class at no additional cost ...
What happens is that there has been overbooking, and they look for a place for people who have arrived later and need to catch the flight.
I remind you that overbooking is the English term of the oversold. In the case of flights, it sometimes happens that more tickets are sold than are actually available, taking into account the usual cancellations; but if in the end all the travelers are presented at the airport, the overbooking.
The high season, like now in summer, or certain dates, such as weekends or when parties or events occur in a city, is when you run more risk of overbooking. The way to reduce this risk is not to rush the time of arrival at the airport, as the possible oversold is suffered by the last to arrive at the check-in desk.
Y what to do if you suffer overbooking? And, above all, what are Your rights? In the video that illustrates this topic you have a brief but didactic explanation about your rights in case of overbooking and what you can claim.
