Notice of Overbooking of FlightsAirline flights may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation.
Can a plane kick you off for overbooking?
Before an airline forces a passenger to give up his/her seat due to overbooking, the airline must ask passengers on the flight if they are willing to give up their seat voluntarily in exchange for compensation.
