- lutorm 9y agoThe actual limit is 4x the price of the ticket, capped at $1350, so it could very well have been down in the $400 range.
- onli 9y agoThere is no limit. It is a minimum, and it does not work like you seem to think it does (if you blame regulations, which is how I read that comment). See https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/2017/04/10/what-rights-do-overbooked-fliers-have-not-many/100287338/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/flights/todayinthesky/...: > For example, an involuntarily bumped traveler who arrives to his final destination more than two hours late (fours internationally) is entitled to an amount worth 400% of his one-way fare (capped at a maximum of $1,350). There are no regulations forbidding United to offer more when a passenger is already seated, and that passenger thus can't be legally bumped (apart from because of safety reasons maybe).
- lutorm 9y agoI am well aware of how it works. What I said is that the incentives to offer more than what they are legally required to offer by the IDB regulations (which does have an upper limit) are significantly lessened since the IDB rules give them a "get out of contract free" card for that amount.
