飛行機に乗るとき、買ったはずの座席が使えなくなり、下のクラスの席に変えられることがあります。
When you board a plane, there are times when you cant use the seat you purchased and are moved to a lower class seat.
。
This is called a downgrade.
。
Even if you have purchased a business class or premium economy class ticket, there may be cases where you are changed to economy class.
。
The main reasons for downgrades are overbooking beyond the number of seats, aircraft changes, seat malfunctions, or reserving seats for crew rest.
。
In particular, selling more tickets than the number of seats occurs quite frequently.
。
Airlines sometimes sell more tickets than there are seats available on a plane in order to fill all the seats.
。
Therefore, if all the passengers arrive, there will not be enough seats and someone will have to be moved to a lower class.
。
If you are downgraded, first ask the airline for the reason.
。
You should also keep photos of your new seat, your boarding pass, and any correspondence with the airline.
。
These pieces of information will be useful later when requesting a refund or compensation.
。
When requesting a refund or compensation, clearly communicate your rights to the airline.
。
For example, in the US and Europe, if you are downgraded, you may receive a refund for the fare difference.
