Yet another feather in the cap of PIA, Double bookings against single seats

KARACHI - Staff members of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) and certain travel agents have reportedly been involved in defrauding passengers as complaints have surfaced of people travelling in place of those who had booked their seats first.

According to sources in the airline, some travel agents have been selling confirmed seats and certain staff members are involved in boarding others in place of the passengers who had initially made the reservations.

When the passengers who initially made the reservations reach the airport, they find out that someone else has used the ticket on another sector, sources elaborated.

“Instead of helping these passengers out, PIA staff urge them to buy new tickets,” the sources added.

How come computer can duplicate same seat on same rout?

 

[deviliicious]

This is normal in all airlines

Airlines always overbook because they calculate a certain number of no shows for each flight, usually during peak holiday time everyone shows up so the flight is overbooked but airlines then usually compensate the ones who cannot board, not just leave them hanging and ask them to buy another ticket when they have already paid for one.

Emirates usually asks for volunteers first and then offers them one free ticket to the same destination valid for one year and one night hotel stay if the next flight is the next day,
