STRANDED!
Article Abstract:
Thousands of airline passengers go through the frustrating experience of being bumped from their flights every year. It is important for passengers to familarize themselves with the policies of the airline they select, and to be on time at the airport. The bumping, which comes about as a result of the airlines' overbooking policies, will often have a compensation from the company such as a round-trip ticket.
