pros and cons of overbooking


JetBlue Overbooking Policy

Paragraph on Jetblue's policy should be checked. The Terms and Conditions after a recent JetBlue purchase states "NOTICE OF OVERBOOKING OF FLIGHTS While JetBlue Airways does not intentionally overbook its flights, there is still a slight chance that a seat may be overbooked, and there is a slight chance that a seat will not be available on a flight for which a person has a confirmed reservation. If the flight is overbooked, no one will be denied a seat until airline personnel first ask for volunteers willing to give up their reservation in exchange for a payment of the airline's choosing. If there are not enough volunteers JetBlue will deny boarding to other persons in accordance with its particular boarding priority. With few exceptions persons denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and JetBlue's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counters and boarding locations. Some airlines do not apply these consumer protections to travel from some foreign countries, although other consumer protections may be available. Check with your airline or your travel agent."
