@onequince pull your advertising
Hey @onequince i think you should reconsider sponsoring a podcast that says such awful things about conservatives.
Hubs and I have spent at least 2k on clothes in just the last six months with you. Would be a shame to have to find someone else to shop with.
Have you done this?
If a gate agent tries to hand you a voucher, do not touch their screen. Say this instead:
"I am not giving up my seat voluntarily. Under DOT regulation 14 CFR 250.5, involuntary denied boarding requires a 400% payout of my one-way fare, up to $1,550 by check or instant transfer today. I decline the credit. Please hand me the written statement of my DOT rights and process the payout."
Gate agents are trained to get your signature fast because once you accept a voucher, the airline legally erases their $1,550 penalty.
If an airline sells your seat twice to make extra profit, it is completely legal. If you skip the last leg of a connecting flight to save $100, they cancel your ticket and ban you.
Have you ever been tricked into taking a voucher instead of a payout?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Under DOT rules, the 400% denied-boarding payout applies only when the rebooked arrival is more than 2 hours late on a domestic flight. Carriers may cap it at $2,150, not $1,550.
