A bumped flight occurs when an airline overbooks a flight and there are not enough seats for all passengers who have confirmed reservations. This can happen because airlines sell more tickets than the number of available seats, in order to compensate for no-shows and last-minute cancellations.

When a flight is overbooked, the airline will typically first ask for volunteers to give up their seats in exchange for compensation, such as a future flight credit, a hotel room, or a cash payout. If there are not enough volunteers, the airline may then involuntarily bump passengers from the flight.

If you are bumped from a flight, you are entitled to compensation under US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. The amount of compensation you are entitled to depends on the length of the delay and the price of your ticket, but generally ranges from $200 to $800 in cash.

If you are bumped from a flight and the airline is able to get you to your final destination within one hour of your original arrival time for domestic flights, or one to two hours for international flights, the airline is not required to provide any compensation.

To get compensated, you should request the compensation at the airport, or contact the airline as soon as possible after the flight. Additionally, you should keep all receipts related to expenses incurred as a result of the bumping, such as for meals, transportation, or lodging, as these may also be reimbursed by the airline.
