Consumer Talk : Why do airlines overbook a flight?

[@AGirlNamedVan]

25:35 that particular story.... Put your meds and other valuables in your personal item bag that goes under your seat! I actually , since my experience flying to USA last yr...I will never pack a cabin luggage bag agan flying economy . The flights were always full and then because my tickets were bottom of the barrel..even when booking in flying back from Birmingham to Atlanta then onwards to cpt .. the lady told me it's a full flight and my cabin luggage would have to be booked in. So I'm scrapping cabin luggage . I did get great tips on you tube that it's best to maximise your personal luggage for under the seat. Get a backpack (just search for under seat sized back packs) and then use that for your meds , a set of extra clothes , laptops etc.
