She begins her bumped video by asking, “What can be done?”
after getting bumped from her flight.
Playing the airline worker, she replies, “There’s nothing I can do, sorry.”
I paid $250 for the one-way fare, so that will be $1,000," she explains.
Department of Transportationwebsite confirms, Kullberg is correct, but there are a few stipulations to keep in mind.
you’re able to negotiate the rate, so go ahead and ask for more.
If not enough people volunteer, the airline may then involuntarily bump people.
At that point, any compensation you receive will be based on a scale.
If it’s more than two hours, you’re entitled to 400% of the one-way fare.
