What compensation is owed to a passenger who is bumped if the airline cannot get them to their destination within the originally scheduled time?

• A. Domestic Air Travel
• B. Economy Class
• C. Direct Flight
• D. Denied Boarding Compensation

Answer: (D)

When a passenger is involuntarily bumped from a flight due to overbooking and the airline cannot rebook them to arrive at their destination within the originally scheduled time, the passenger is entitled to Denied Boarding Compensation. That term specifically refers to the payment or other compensation provided because the traveler is denied boarding not by choice, but by the airline’s overbooking and scheduling decisions. The exact amount and form of compensation can vary by country and airline policy, and often includes monetary payment, vouchers, meals, or hotel accommodations plus rebooking on the next available flight. The other options don’t fit because they describe a travel attribute or service (Domestic Air Travel, Economy Class, Direct Flight) rather than a type of compensation.
