eli5 How and why do airline flights get oversold?

635 views

To the point at which they need to reject passengers ? I can only think that it’s due to poor management and organisation ? Does anyone have any legitimate reason ?

Because if they didn’t there would *always* be empty seats on every flight. Are you ok with that? With your ticket prices being raised a little and to have fewer tickets available per flight? Because that’s the alternative.

The airlines cannot force passengers to show up.
