Yes, like many major airlines, Delta occasionally overbooks flights to account for expected no-shows. While this helps maximize efficiency, it sometimes results in passengers being bumped if everyone shows up. In most cases, Delta asks for volunteers and offers compensation such as travel credits or cash. If no volunteers step forward, passengers may be involuntarily denied boarding but are entitled to compensation depending on the delay length and destination.
