I don't know for sure, but I would be surprised if the ''terms and conditions of carriage'' do not require passengers to abide by the decision of the airline staff when such a situation occurs. Once you hit the ''I agree' box, which you have to if you wish to proceed with your booking, you will probably find that you have committed yourself to having to relinquish your seat if instructed to do so my an authorised member of the airline staff. However, things may not work out to be so black and white in a court of law. Side: Get Off

http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/ Short answer yes. They have a few clauses in their tickets that give them the right to do so. Once you refuse they can say you are unruly and a threat and interfering with the flight crew. Side: Get Off

I agree with your sentiments, but would be interested to know what is in the small print of the airline's conditions which all passengers will, either knowingly or unknowingly, have agreed to. I feel that this disgraceful incident could have been averted if the issue had been addressed and resolved in the airport terminal. On a trip to Dubai some years ago a similar situation arose and no one accepted the offer of $1000 plus overnight accommodation. I spoke to the representative and ''negotiated'' ( blackmailed) him into paying me $1600, overnight accommodation and an upgrade to 1st class for my journey the following day. The free Moet et Chandon tasted particularly sweet. Side: Get Off

I believe that since this problem was created by establishment, they should have to solve it and not you. forcing random volunteers off a plane, even by the police or governmental elects does not create a sort of environment that makes people respect authority but does the opposite. so i do not believe you shoul have to get off just because a government official tells you too Side: Keep Your Seat
