6 `7 E) T* \% p5 ]【太陽報專訊】逾六萬名市民昨日趁復活節長假期乘班機外遊，幾乎逼爆機場。一個三十九人的內地法律學者團經香港轉赴台北，卻因國泰航空公司超賣機票，要分五班機出發。他們在國泰櫃位前鼓譟，僵持不下，國泰罕有地要利誘已經登機的其他乘客騰出機位，才能安排所有學者坐同一班機離開，但班機已延誤四十三分鐘。受影響的內地學者炮轟國泰不應因超賣而影響搭客，而且超賣嚴重，非常不合理，損害香港的形象。 + Z7 Y$ n; ?0 n 7 N$ O, i p' R- R, Q. A) j8 ]# D廣 告" n3 q6 E. v3 d. P
Most airlines would oversell to ensure they have enough coverage for the operating cost for each flight. This is especially true for the short flights because cooperate cancellations are common. We need to remember some people even miss their flights. For the majority of the flights there will be spaces when the plane takes off, however there are occassions where more legitimate passangers show up than the seats available.This is why sometimes economy class passengers have to be 'bump' up to the Executive or First Class. These 'extra passangers' can also be asked to be switched on to a later flight on the same day or other airliner's plane (in this case, China Airlines and Eva). In the extreme case, the airlines would offer these people a night (or more) or hotel accomodation, a coupon for their next purchase (at least US$100).6 }, `% D8 |. O
