don’t worry they 100% sold the seat if the flight was at capacity. flights are always overbooked, and if everyone shows up they offer money until someone takes the offer to get on a different flight
- franciscop 3y agoI wonder if that was true, for over 1 year, including my anecdote, I loved flying through Asia because flights were always at half capacity, at best. Which might actually explain why they didn't care about cancelling though. I've also noticed incidentally overbooking seems to be a common occurrence in the USA, but I've never seen it in EU/Asia (not that it doesn't happen, just that it seems a lot more common in the USA).
