It just seems like it happens so often, and airlines will sometimes offer you three times the price of the ticket just to stay a few extra hours. Seems like it’d be easy to just…stop selling tickets once the plane is full??
They overbook to ensure full capacity… they know that on average, X% of people who book a flight will cancel or change their flight. So they’re better off overselling the flight and compensating people if they have to bump people than flying with unnecessary empty seats
