Notice of overbooking handling
On many flights a certain number of passengers do not show up at the airport, despite having made a booking. Hong Kong Airlines may try to minimize the impacts to passenger due to ‘no shows’ caused. It is the discretion of Hong Kong Airlines to overbook a flight to a certain level based on commercial need, passenger profile and the availability of an alternative flight.
If some passengers have to give up their seats on an oversold flight due to denied boarding, we will take the following steps:
1) In order to minimize the impact of overbook, Hong Kong Airlines will do our best to call for volunteers at airport. Volunteers should be advised for the protection arrangement and offered recovery services.
Volunteer search mechanism :
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.
Priority boarding policy :
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:
- Special passengers such as the elderly, children, sick, disabled and pregnant;
- Passengers with subsequent connecting flights;
- Passengers whose boarding order is first.
2) Compensation standard, means and related standards for affected passengers:
We will try to have below arrangement for affected passengers:
- Affected passengers should be arranged with protection flights so as to minimize the delay to their arrival at the destination;
- Meals and /or refreshments should be offered to the affected passengers as deemed necessary while waiting for the rebooked flight. If the affected passengers will have to stay overnight for the next available flight, hotel accommodation should be arranged.
- We will determine the compensation arrangement based on the traveling classes, flight distance, and the revised estimated arrival time of the alternative travel arrangements, or assist affected passengers for a refund.
- Issue a certificate of voluntary abandonment of the itinerary or denied boarding due to overbooking
3) Condition of compensation arrangement
- Passenger must be in possession of a valid ticket with a confirmed reservation for the particular flight shown on that ticket;
- Passenger must also have presented themselves for check-in within the stipulated time limits and be in possession of the necessary travel documents, according to the General Conditions of Carriage.
Hong Kong Airlines apologize for any inconvenience that may have caused to you and sincerely thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
