Getting bumped gets more lucrative
It's an American article and if you're not in a hurry the increased compensation sounds quite good.
The rule is that if you get bumped and the airline can get you to your destination within two hours of your original scheduled arrival time, you're entitled to cash equal to the value of your one-way ticket, with a max of $400. If you get there more two hours late, you get double the value, up to $800. Not bad, huh?
But now, the Department of Transportation is changing the rule so that this will go up substantially. Now, if you arrive within two hours, you'll get double the value of your ticket, up to $650. If it's more than two hours, you'll get four times the value, up to a whopping $1,300.
