Passenger removed from Ryanair flight from Budapest
Change language:
An unusual case was reported by a reader of Utazómajom: on 28 June, Tuesday morning, they wanted to go from Budapest to Mallorca on a direct Ryanair flight. However, it turned out that there was one more passenger than seats.
The awkward incident
The Ryanair flight to Mallorca from Budapest was scheduled to depart at 9:25 AM, but was delayed by more than an hour and a half. That is the time it took for the crew to find out the root of the problem: the fact that there were one too many passengers on board than what they could carry, Utazómajom reports.
When the last passenger boarded the plane, they noticed that someone was not seated. The person was given a ticket for the seat that had already been occupied, as both boarding passes showed the same seat. Overbooking is quite commonplace in air transport, noizz.hu underscores.
Selling more tickets than the number of seats is common
If there is demand, airlines will sell more tickets than they can seat on the plane, assuming (on the basis of serious calculations) that not all passengers will show up at departure. The current case is quite remarkable, because if that is the case, it usually becomes clear at the check-in desk, or at the latest at boarding, but sooner than when everyone is already on the plane.
