Notice of incorporated terms
Notice - overselling of flights
We’re proud that we do not intentionally oversell our flights – we only sell the same number of seats that we have available on an aircraft. However, there are instances, operationally, where for example we need to switch to a smaller aircraft, or there may be a mechanical issue with a seat, that can create a situation where a flight becomes overbooked. In these cases, we’ll work with our guests and ask for volunteers willing to take a later flight in exchange for compensation.
If there are not enough volunteers, we may need to deny boarding to guests in accordance with their boarding priority. With few exceptions, guests denied boarding involuntarily are entitled to compensation. The complete rules for the payment of compensation and our airline's boarding priorities are available at all airport ticket counter and boarding locations. If you’re travelling with one of our partner airlines, we encourage you to familiarize yourself with their terms of carriage.
