Airlines overbook flights, deny boarding pass to students

Hundreds of Punjab students going to Canada via Mexico are being denied boarding passes by airlines, which are reportedly engaged in the practice of overbooking flights.

The students, who are being harassed and forced to stay longer and spend more on their stay in hotels, taxis and food, have been using social media platforms to share their videos and messages. They have also been tweeting to the Indian embassy and the officials concerned seeking help for getting boarding passes.
