What can you do when an airline overbooks?

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Could maths - and some cheerful bribery - prevent airlines from overbooking your seat? Airlines sometimes find that they don't have enough seats left to accommodate everyone they want to get onto a plane. Tim Harford looks into how airlines overbook and whether you can do anything about it. First broadcast on More or Less, 16 April 2017.
