How to Get Your Bumping Compensation When the Airline Doesn't Pay
You accepted the bump. They promised compensation. Then... nothing.
No voucher in your email. No credit in your account. No check in the mail.
You followed their rules. You gave up your seat. And now they're ignoring you.
Here's the truth airlines don't want you to know:
They're counting on you to give up. To forget. To let it slide.
But you don't have to.
What You'll Get:
✅ The exact 6-step system to recover your missing compensation—from first contact to federal complaint
✅ Word-for-word email templates you can copy, paste, and send immediately (no guessing what to say)
✅ The legal language airlines actually respond to—including the magic phrase that gets you escalated to decision-makers
✅ Your federal rights breakdown—what you're legally owed for voluntary vs. involuntary bumping (most travelers don't know this)
✅ "What if they deny it?" strategies—how to build your case even with limited documentation
✅ DOT complaint guide—when and how to file (this gets FAST responses)
✅ Pro tips for next time—what to document at the gate so this never happens again
This guide is for you if:
- You accepted bump compensation and never received it
- The airline is giving you the runaround with vague promises
- You're not sure what you're legally entitled to
- You want to handle this yourself without paying a lawyer
- You're tired of being ignored and want your money NOW
Why this works:
I'm Kim Kirkley—a licensed attorney (JD) and social worker (MSW) who's spent decades advocating for people the system tries to ignore.
I've studied airline regulations. I know consumer protection law. And I've helped countless travelers recover what they're owed.
This isn't generic advice. These are the exact strategies that get results when dealing with airline bureaucracy.
What makes this different:
❌ No vague "just call customer service" advice ✅ Specific scripts proven to work
❌ No wasting time on strategies that don't work ✅ Only the escalation path that gets results
❌ No guessing about your rights ✅ Clear breakdown of federal compensation rules
❌ No need to hire a lawyer ✅ Everything you need to advocate for yourself
Here's what happens when you download this guide:
Immediately: You'll know exactly what to say in your first message to the airline
Within 24-48 hours: You'll have a case number and timeline (or you'll know it's time to escalate)
Within 1-2 weeks: You'll either have your compensation or a clear escalation path to the DOT
The alternative? Weeks of frustration, ignored emails, and watching that compensation disappear into airline bureaucracy.
Common Questions:
"What if I don't have any proof?" The guide includes a full section on building your case with alternative documentation—your rebooking confirmation, credit card statements, and more.
"Will this work for international flights?" Yes! The guide covers both domestic and international bumping rights.
"What if they keep saying they have no record?" You'll learn exactly what to say to shift the burden of proof back to them—and when to escalate to federal authorities.
"Do I need to be tech-savvy?" Not at all. This is step-by-step, copy-paste simple.
The Real Cost of Doing Nothing:
That $400 voucher you were promised? Gone.
The $800 you're legally entitled to? Disappeared.
And the airline? They're hoping you forget about it.
For less than the cost of a sandwich at the airport, you get the complete system to recover what you're owed—plus the knowledge to protect yourself next time.
