Best Advice to avoid Bumping

I am back with some more and useful information about etting bumped off from the Airline Travel. Apparently, there are few tips that can provide you from getting bumped off from the oversold flight.


Lets talk about best advice around the same:

• Can you afford to travel on different date than the scheduled flight time? No, then please do not volunteer yourself to be bumped off from oversold flight. Its always good to pre-assign the seat number. Pre- booking of the seats lessen the chances of the getting involuntarily moving to another flight. 80-85% is the maximum threshold for an Airline to allow the pre-seating.


• Another best advice to avoid bumping is to check in early as this would give you an edge over the others and there would be less chances of you getting bumped off. Remember one thing that waiting till last minute to get involuntary upgraded to business class is not an good idea for the oversold flight.


• Its mostly the holiday or peak season during which the flight is oversold. Don't assume that the flight would be oversold and you would surely be bumped off. Its always good to call the Airline in advance to check the total flight load or the capacity. They usually give you the fair idea if the flight is oversold or not.
• If you have the luxury of the time and you don't mind delaying the Airline Travel then its sometime benefit to get bumped off and enjoy the wonderful lounges and meal vouchers
• Airlines gives good compensation for getting bumped off . I was compensated EUR 600 for oversold Lufthansa flight and trust me I was really happy on my way back

So my friend, Its always not bad to be bumped off from the flight as it sometimes gives you the reason to be happy. Airline Travel can be full of adventure so enjoy each and every trip.

All the Best !!
