Overbooking

Sabrina, a fashion photographer from Munich, has a photo shoot in Berlin. She books the first flight in the morning to Berlin (with airline G/2nd class): scheduled departure 7.00 am – scheduled arrival in Berlin 8.00 am. When Sabrina wants to check in at the time indicated on her ticket she is informed that the flight is overbooked.

Sabrina is offered a first-class seat on the 8.00 am flight if she voluntarily gives up her reservation. As the photo shoot already starts at 8.00 am, the alternative flight is not an option for her. Still, Sabrina is denied boarding and forced to take the 8.00 am flight to Berlin.

Sabrina is entitled to a minimum of 125 EUR in compensation from airline G.
