Flyers to Chandigarh offloaded from overbooked flight

Mumbai:  For some flyers, a cricket match in a non-metro can be like bad weather. It can ruin travel plans like it did on Saturday when over 20 passengers booked on a Jet Airways Mumbai-Chandigarh flight were offloaded.
The airline had overbooked in response to the spike in demand brought on by the India-Australia match played in Mohali. That is the latest lesson of the season.
If one is travelling to a non-metro on a weekend or during peak travel months and if there is a cricket match or another crowd-pulling event at the destination one is flying to, then it is prudent to reach the airport as early as possible.
