I’ll let Nathan pick it up from here. One thing I can’t figure out is the overbooking process, and if you could explain how and why airlines use it, and how it is profitable, I’d appreciate it. I traveled on United a few months ago, volunteered to give up my seat, and ended up receiving a voucher for $500.

Even if airlines sell every seat, there’s a good chance that not everyone will show up. It could be due to delays or cancellations by the airline or it could be because of last minute changes and cancellations by the traveler. Either way, it’s rare for every single person who was booked to be on that airplane.
