When there is an over-rated seat, we will first start the process of seeking volunteers, looking for passengers who voluntarily give up their itinerary. If we cannot find enough volunteers through the volunteer seeking process, we will determine the passengers who are allowed to board the aircraft in the following order:
(1) Special passengers such as the elderly, children, sick, disabled and pregnant;
(2) Passengers with subsequent connecting flights;
(3) Passengers whose boarding order is first.
For passengers who are forced to not take the flight due to overbooking, we will,
(1) According to the passenger's request, handle ticket change or refund;
(2) According to the passenger's request, issue a certificate of voluntary abandonment of the itinerary or denied boarding due to overbooking;
(3) Compensation shall be made in accordance with applicable laws and compensation policies.
