- kelnos 10y agoThe guy didn't get bumped; he got moved to a lower class of service. Same rules don't apply there. Either way, my other point makes this not really matter; the compensation isn't a "refund" for the seat. It's compensation for the inconvenience, and the airline is still required to get you to your destination in addition.
