Bumped from a US flight: the $2,150 rule airlines don’t announce

If you’re involuntarily denied boarding on an oversold US flight, 14 CFR Part 250 makes the airline pay cash on the spot — up to $2,150 (400% of your one-way fare). Not a voucher. Volunteers negotiate their own deal; if you were bumped against your will, you’re owed the cash.
