get bumped

 get bumped 在搭飛機時,有特別的用法。
Bumping in the context you've given here means to not board the plane. However, it can be voluntary or involuntary. When flights are overbooked, they usually ask if any passengers are willing to get bumped from the flight in exchange for a payoff. If there are no volunteers, then the airline will have to bump someone involuntuary.
