There’s a time in my life that’s been coming to mind recently. I was 35. I had lost pretty much everything I had. I was forced to sell my home, lost my business, had a failed relationship. I was in the dumps. As I listened to a self-help motivational tape at the time, it suggested writing down your goals and reading them out loud once a day. I thought it was silly; how could that help? But for grins, I wrote down 10 things that seemed most important to me at the time. The speaker said they needed to be clear and have a timeline. I stuck them on my bathroom mirror and glanced at them from time to time and then as they didn’t come true, lost interest. The commitment he was asking for was to believe in your own future. After a few months, nothing had materialized and I lost the list—or so I thought.

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.
