When it comes to overbooking flights and getting passengers to voluntary move to a different flight, Delta is one of the best airlines (see below).
According to One Mile At A Time, the amount Delta employees can offer in compensation for voluntary bumping is increasing:
- Gate agents can offer up to $2,000 worth of vouchers (up from $800)
- Supervisors can offer up to $9,950 worth of vouchers (up from $2,000)
It’s great that all Delta employees can offer more than the $1,350 maximum currently available if a passenger is involuntary bumped from a flight. This doesn’t mean they will offer these maximum rates for overbooked flights, just that they have the ability to do so.
It will be interesting to see if Delta passengers actually see any notable difference in what they are offered in terms of compensation or not. You can read more about overbooking by clicking here.
