Overbooking Policy
In order to minimize the influence of no-shows and to enable seats to be used by passengers who otherwise would not be able to travel on their chosen flight, Hong Kong Express Airways and most major airlines may undertake overbooking on their services. By careful monitoring and control, we do our utmost to match the number of available seats to the number of passengers that we expect will show up on the flight. In addition, the occurrence of any force majeure events (e.g. act of god, war, adverse weather conditions, political or military acts, or any other events that are not controllable by Hong Kong Express Airways) may also lead to overbooking of flights and that the availability of seats cannot be guaranteed for such reasons. Whilst Hong Kong Express Airways makes every effort to provide seats for which confirmed reservations have been made, no absolute guarantee of seat availability is denoted by the expression reservations, bookings, status and the timings attached to them. Hong Kong Express Airways operates compensation schemes, in accordance with the applicable law and our compensation policy to passengers with confirmed reservations who are involuntarily denied carriage because of non-availability of seats.

The following rules apply only to passengers traveling from Guam or Saipan to a point outside of the U.S. who are denied boarding involuntarily from an oversold flight originating in Guam or Saipan:

There is no compensation to a passenger who is denied boarding for a flight originating in Guam or Saipan if carrier offers comparable air transportation, or other transportation used at no extra cost at the time such arrangement is made is planned to arrive at the passenger’s first stopover, or if none, final destination no later than one hour after the planned arrival time of the passenger’s original flight or flights. Compensation for denied involuntary boarding when the delay in planned arrival time to the first stopover, or if none, final destination from the alternative transportation is between one and four hours shall be 200% of the one-way fare, up to a maximum of 675 U.S. Dollars. Compensation for denied boarding when the delay in planned arrival time to the first stopover, or if none, final destination from the alternative transportation is more than four hours shall be 400% of the one-way fare, up to a maximum of 1350 U.S. Dollars

No compensation due to overbooking will be provided if a passenger has not fully complied with carrier’s ticketing and check-in time requirements, did not comply with the terms of these conditions of carriage or tariff, if the flight is canceled, if for operational or safety reasons the carrier substitutes an aircraft having lesser seating capacity than the aircraft originally scheduled, or the carrier is able to place you on another flight that reaches the passenger’s final destination within one hour of the planned arrival of the original flight.

Prior to denying boarding to a passenger with a confirmed reservation, carrier will ask for volunteers first and if there are not enough volunteers then the carrier will deny boarding according to its boarding priority rules.

“OVERBOOKING" POLICY
In order to minimize the influence of no-shows and to enable seats to be used by passengers who otherwise would not be able to travel on their chosen flight, Hong Kong Express Airways and most major airlines may undertake overbooking on their services. By careful monitoring and control, we do our utmost to match the number of available seats to the number of passengers that we expect will show up on the flight. In addition, the occurrence of any force majeure events (e.g. act of god, war, adverse weather conditions, political or military acts, or any other events that are not controllable by Hong Kong Express Airways) may also lead to overbooking of flights and that the availability of seats cannot be guaranteed for such reasons.

Whilst Hong Kong Express Airways makes every effort to provide seats for which confirmed reservations have been made, no absolute guarantee of seat availability is denoted by the expression reservations, bookings, status and the timings attached to them. Hong Kong Express Airways operates compensation schemes, in accordance with the applicable law and our compensation policy to passengers with confirmed reservations who are involuntarily denied carriage because of non-availability of seats.
GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION
