Overbooking: compensation for a lost hotel night?

score:6

Accepted answer

You are entitled to the denied boarding compensation and the airline should have arranged for meals and accomodation for you in Budapest or Vienna and your transport from Budapest to Vienna. With 'you' I mean your own person, not your girlfriend.

  1. No, your girl friend is not entitled to any compensation. Even if you had booked together, the airline is not required to make sure that you can fly on the same plane. If your girl friend decided not to fly alone, she is rightly considered by the air line as a 'no show', which usually also cause further legs or a return trip on the same ticket to be cancelled.

  2. No, the airline is usually not responsible for any consequential loss due to the denied boarding.
