Time Out

When you’re about to head off on a vacation or returning home after a long trip, the possibility of being told you cannot board your flight can ruin your plans. Yes, denied boarding is a thing. When airlines oversell a flight, passengers can be selected to involuntarily move to the next flight. Airlines oversell for a reason, but for some airlines, the practice can be excessive. A study by QR Code Generator highlights the airlines with the highest number of oversold flights and the highest denied boarding rates.

These U.S. airlines have the most oversold flights

Whether we're talking about a short layover or a long layover, most people tend not to love having their travel plans delayed — no matter how much overbooked flight compensation cash an airline might offer for the trouble. But depending on the crowds, service, and food offerings at the airport you happen to find yourself stuck at, some layovers can be much worse than others. When you're stuck hanging around a terminal for an extra four hours, a good coffee shop and decent seating can go a long way in terms of misery mitigation.

The Absolute Worst Airports For Layovers In The US, According To Research

Airlines are infamous for overbooking flights, aiming to maximize profits, as it is expected that at least one passenger might not show up for their booked flight. However, when all passengers show up, those who have paid in advance and rightfully expected to be accommodated as agreed are often denied boarding due to lack of space. This issue of airlines overbooking flights has been a long-standing challenge in the aviation industry. It is unfair, to say the least. A viral video by Erika Kullberg—who goes by @erikakullberg on TikTok—a lawyer and advocate, reveals the hidden clause that enables passengers to claim compensation when denied boarding due to airline overbooking.
