Delta Offers $3,000 to Passengers to Deplane Due to Weight Issue
Delta Air Lines offered an unusually high $3,000 compensation to passengers on an April 21st flight from Chicago to Seattle. This occurred after boarding when a weight distribution issue required some passengers to deplane. Initially offering $1,700, Delta increased the amount to $3,000 in vouchers for those already seated, highlighting the airline's need for flexibility during the busy post-Easter travel period and creating a lucrative opportunity for willing travelers.
