United Airlines Will Now Pay Voluntarily Bumped Passengers Up To $10,000

Written by Teunis Felter

United Airlines is making changes after a man was forcibly removed from one of its flights earlier this month, promising to cut down on overbooking and raise the maximum incentive for passengers to skip a flight to $10,000. On the flight that became a public-relations nightmare for the company, compensation for being voluntarily bumped had topped out at $1,000. In all, United announced 10 policy changes in response to the sharp criticism it received over a debacle that unfolded on a United Express Flight on April 9.
