Overbooked flights. Refused boarding
During summer travel it is not uncommon for airlines to be overbooked. It is possible that some passengers will be denied boarding. What do you do in such case?
Before passengers are denied boarding on involuntary basis the airlines usually are trying to get more volunteers. The airlines will offer travel vouchers that in some cases can approach $ 1000- in addition to complementary dinner and a hotel room if passengers are forced to stay overnight. Exactly how much you can get depends on the circumstances of the flight. You can also try to get upgrade to business or first class on the next flight.
If it happens to you, ask the boarding agent for compensation for the occurred inconvenience. If you do not do it on the spot you will be simply assumed as voluntary agreed to the change. If you try to get compensation after the travel was completed usually doesn’t have results.

Eger
The city of Eger, with its one thousand-year history, heroic past, rich monuments, famous wines and thermal baths is one of the most famous towns of Hungary. Eger is usually considered to be a historic town, yet it is also noted for its splendid Baroque architecture, wine, thermal and medicinal waters and lively student population. It became an episcopal seat as early as the 1th century, during the reign of St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary. Disaster struck the town many times: it was practically destroyed during the invasion of the Tatars, but its fortress, built in the 13th century, played a major role in defence during the wars of the Turkish era. Captain István Dobó and a handful of his soldiers withstood the attack of the Turkish army 40 times superior in force to his 2000 defenders for 38 days in 1552, and eventually forced the Turks to withdraw.

Siofok
Siofok Hungary is set on the southern shore of Lake Balaton and boasts a beach more than ten miles long. It’s the largest town on Hungary’s largest lake and has the greatest beach area. As such, it is one of the most fashionable resorts in the country, drawing tourists from nearby Budapest and all over Hungary. The lake is quite shallow with an average depth only ten feet so a Siofok holiday is quite attractive to families with young children. Such shallow water also means invitingly warm water temperatures (about 80 degrees Fahrenheit) in the summer. Foreign visitors also travel to Siofok from the rest of Europe, the U.K., and increasingly from the United States.
