Overbooking at Air Botswana flight

Air Botswana Overbooking: When Air Botswana sells more tickets than the possible number of people they can take.

The overbooking is legal, but you can be granted up to € 600.

Air Botswana aims to avoid empty seats because of no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.

When the Air Botswana passenger has received a reservation or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Air Botswana refuses them access to the plane.

How do I know how long was Air Botswana flight delayed?

1. Contact a Lexority attorney to tell you how long the Air Botswana flight has been delayed without any doubt. Take in to account that the following tools are not always accurate and need a payment record.
2. Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Air Botswana status of all flights including those of years ago.
3. Another option is accesing to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days Air Botswana flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to 2 years ago.

Must read: When the Air Botswana delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law imposes has to be taken in consideration.
