Thanks Ranga for the info.

Will have to check on a few things. Maa palletooru nundi bulli flights lo 30 seats unnayo ledo choodaali. 20 seats undey flight ki 40 tickets ammukuntey manaku bokka kada.

Alaagey, Lufthansa might argue that overall journey (to final destination) was not delayed. But, ikkada paddad tension, driving, half-day's pay etc etc...anthaa lite teesukovaalanna maata!!

U.S. airlines are allowed to overbook flights to allow for "no-show" passengers. However, if passengers are involuntarily bumped, airlines are required to do ask for volunteers to give up their seats in exchange for compensation. Most involuntarily bumped passengers are subject to the following minimum compensation schedule:

There is no compensation if alternative transportation gets the passenger to the destination within one hour of the original scheduled arrival.
The equivalent of the passenger's one way fare up to a maximum of $400 for substitute domestic flights that arrive between one and two hours after the original scheduled arrival time or for substitute international flights that arrive between one and four hours after the original scheduled arrival time.
If the substitute transportation is scheduled to get you to your destination more than two hours later (four hours internationally), or if the airline does not make any substitute travel arrangements for you, the compensation doubles to a maximum of $800.
There are exceptions to these rules. This minimum compensation schedule does not apply to charter flights, to scheduled flights operated with planes that hold 30 or fewer passengers, or to international flights inbound to the United States. If a passenger can't be accommodated to their satisfaction, they may be eligible to request a refund for the remaining part of the trip, even if the trip were on an otherwise nonrefundable ticket.

Malli debba kottindi parents trip. Ikkadiki vachetappudu they were stuck in Europe for 4 days.

Ivala return eldaamantey maa palletoru nundi Chicago ki flight overbooked, sorry, the flight is full anesaaru. Rebook cheyyavayyaa antey, sorry Idi Lufthansa ticket nenemi cheyyalenu vallaki call cheyynadi anesaadu United vaadu.

15 minutes on Hold then cut.

Again 15 minuts on hold, problem chebithey another 10 mins on hold, Maa ooru nundi ivaala flights anni full, Pakka ooru nundi anna ivvandi ani adigaa. Car lo koorchoni waiting takkuna drive eddaamani, inko 20 mins hold taruvatha Cincinnati nundi undi annaaru.

Thalli, aa mukka 20 mins mundu cheppi untey driving lo undevaadini kada, ippudu aa flight kudaradu(it was departing in 90 mins and it takes me at least 75 minutes to get to that airport) anni gola pettaa.

Malli 10 minutes hold, ...naakemo Cell phone lo battery ayipothondi...full tension.....

"Get in the car and drive to Louisville, we will finalize the booking while u drive" andi. Inka speeding yee speeding chesi, akkada next flight ekkinchaa. Akkadi UNited counter vaadu adigaadu. Etla vachaaru Lexington nundi, Airlines vaadu pampaadaa ani. Ledu baabu neney drive kottaa ani cheppaa.

Inthakee mana passenger rights enti ilaanti situations lo. I understand why they overbook. But, mana paristhithi enti? Mana options enti? Ila flight ledu sorry antey emi cheyyaali manamu?
