How much cash compensation do you get for getting bumped off a flight?

🇺🇸 in the United States

Involuntary Bumping Compensation: If you are involuntarily bumped from a flight and the airline cannot get you to your destination within one hour of your original arrival time, you may be entitled to compensation.

Compensation Amounts: The compensation amount depends on the delay caused by the involuntary bumping.

If the airline arranges an alternative flight that arrives within one to two hours of your original arrival time (or one to four hours for international flights), you are entitled to 200% of the one-way fare, up to a maximum of $675.

If the alternative flight arrives more than two hours later (or more than four hours for international flights), or if the airline does not make alternative arrangements, you are entitled to 400% of the one-way fare, up to a maximum of $1,350.

🫢Exceptions

There are exceptions to these compensation amounts for certain circumstances, and airlines may provide compensation in the form of travel vouchers.

Important Considerations:

Voluntary Bumping: If the airline asks for volunteers to give up their seats, compensation may be negotiated between the airline and the passenger. This is considered voluntary bumping, and the terms can vary.

Documentation: It's essential to keep documentation of your original ticket, any compensation offered, and the reasons for the bump.

Communication: Communicate with airline staff and understand your rights. Ask about compensation options and arrangements for the next available flight.

DOT Regulations: Familiarize yourself with the specific regulations of the Department of Transportation regarding involuntary bumping.

🇪🇺Outside the United States

Compensation policies for involuntary bumping may vary in other countries, and it's essential to check with the specific airline and relevant aviation authorities.

European Union regulations, for example, also have specific rules for compensation in case of denied boarding, including compensation amounts based on flight distance and delay.

It's crucial to check the airline's terms and conditions, understand your rights, and be proactive in seeking compensation in case of involuntary bumping. If you believe your rights have been violated, you may contact the airline's customer service or file a complaint with the appropriate aviation authorities.
