So I have not selected a seat assignment. However, these are the last two seats that are shown.
So if I don't select a seat, will one of those seats automatically be given to me? Without having to pay? OR...if I don't select the seat before hand, am I at risk for being bumped from the flight in the event it is oversold?
Any help is appreciated. Flight is on Sunday, today is late Friday night so any quick answers are appreciated! Thank you!!!
A seat will be assigned to you at no charge when you check in on Sunday. If the flight is oversold and no seats are available to be assigned, the airline will typically ask for volunteers willing to take a later flight for compensation of the airline's choosing. If the airline does not get enough volunteers, it will bump one or more passengers, and have to pay Involuntarily Denied Boarding compensation as required by federal regulations.
Just make sure that you satisfy all of Delta's time requirements for checking in, presenting yourself at the departure gate, etc. If you fail to comply with Delta's time requirements and do not get on the flight, Delta may not owe you anything.
