If I have an award ticket and am denied boarding does UA have to compensate me? I'm on an oversold flight and am looking forward to some Travel Credits!
Often award tickets have a clause in the rcpt saying "NODBC/UPG/TRANS/SRW", but in practice, a desperate GA will compensate you if they need your seat. Could they IDB you with no comp? Maybe.
