I've never heard overbooking announcements with discount airlines (easyJet, Ryanair). I wonder if they just don't overbook or somehow handle the situation bette

  They (generally) don't overbook. Since their tickets are (generally) not refundable, they get paid even if you don't show up.

  I flew to an easyJet destination weekly for the bigger part of a year. Heard overbooking announcements at least every other week. It's just less of a problem for them to find a passenger willing to take a later flight voluntarily. They offer 300 to 500 euro (usually in flight credits), which to an audience that paid around 50 euro for their ticket is a great deal. Especially if it's a holiday trip where they don't mind as much arriving a few hours later.
