Overbooking क्या होती है ? Overbooking कयो की जाती है ?कैसे बचे ? किन किन बातो ख्याल रखे ! 

You’ve probably experienced it yourself. At the gate, just before boarding, the staff announces that your flight is overbooked and they are looking for volunteers to rebook on a later flight. What is annoying for many travelers is a regular occurrence in the airline industry.
Overbooking is how airlines ensure that there are no available seats when a flight departs. So they sell more tickets in advance than there are seats on the plane. The point of all this is to ensure that the plane is full when it takes off, because empty seats are a financial burden for airlines.
According to some travel experts on overbooking flights statistics for every 100 seats available, about 150 tickets are sold. So most flights are undoubtedly overbooked. British Airways, for example, has revealed that in a single year it oversells about 500,000 seats, forcing 24,000 passengers to be rebooked on other flights.
One of the main reasons airlines overbook is to maximize profits. By selling more tickets than available seats, planes are full even when there are so-called “no-shows.” This is because many passengers simply prefer to lose a ticket if they can’t travel rather than canceling or missing their connecting flights due to delays.
