Woman bumped from flight, misses 10K dream cruise

They do, depending on the flight they are capped at $1,300 they can offer. From what I read, the United flight where all this hoopla started from, they offered up to $850. The flight was a $200 flight from Chicago to Louisville. I would've took the $850 and ran to a rental car place and made the 4 1/2 hour drive.



I can't imagine it taking over 1,300 but who/why cap them. Let free market and the risk that they might have to pay big bucks help determine how many seats they want to oversell.
