What should passengers be aware of regarding denied boarding compensation?

Passengers should understand that denied boarding compensation is not guaranteed for all airline incidents. This means that compensation may depend on specific circumstances of the flight and the reason for denial of boarding. For instance, if passengers voluntarily give up their seats in exchange for travel vouchers or flight upgrades, they generally would not be entitled to compensation. Additionally, certain situations such as operational reasons and events beyond the airline's control may also exclude passengers from receiving compensation. Therefore, it is essential for travelers to familiarize themselves with the airline's policies and applicable regulations to understand their rights and the potential for recourse in denied boarding situations.
