LAM overbooking: is it legal?

LAM Overbooking: When LAM sells more tickets than the actual number of people they can accommodate.

The overbooking is legal, but you can get a compensation up to € 600.

LAM aims to avoid empty seats because of no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.

Once a LAM passenger has received a flight ticket 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 LAM refuses them access to the plane.
