way to miss the point. literally everyone knows that they overbook. that's not because they're not using nfts. it's because they want to overbook. you said nfts would prevent overbooking. I say you can just prevent overbooking by not overbooking. it has nothing to do with nfts.

NFTs would prove to the customers that their flight is not being overbooked.

but why would they want to do that if the intention is to overbook

It's a bit chicken and egg. One of the reasons airlines overbook is because there is no efficient secondary market.

But overbooking is seen as a profit center (I.e. consumers lose out) so only low cost airlines looking to provide consumer value would have any interest in NFT tickets.
