Overbooking: People bought too many tickets
Oversales: The airline sold too many tickets
It's a thin distinction to be sure, but it reads with rhetorical significance to me.
- eridius 10y agoNo, there is literally no distinction at all. The customer cannot possibly buy too many tickets, they can only buy as many tickets as the airline sells. So the only way to overbook is by the airline selling too many tickets.
