most likely not...unless there are some type of delays due to the airline. for weather delays i am not sure they will get you a hotel, i would call and ask. but unless there are no more flight for the night that can get you to bwi, only then will they get you a hotel

They will not bump you just because you ask, The only chance you have of being bumped is if the flight is oversold and they need volunteers to give up their seat. Only then would they give you a hotel vocher and that is ONLY if there is no room on the next available flight to Baltimore or there is not another scheduled flight out to Baltimore that day. If your ticket was by chance booked using miles, call CO and speak to an agent because the rules are a bit different and you may be able to stay in Houston for up to 48 hours, no charge. They will not pay for hotel though. Good Luck! :)

Ask to be bummped?? Why?? you can ask all you want, but unless the flight is overrsold, then no. If the flight is oversold, then they will put you out on the next available flight (and unless you are on the last flight of the day, they won't pay to put you up overnight.) What you can expect is for them to get you to your final destination exactly as your itinerary states...that is, after all, what their goal is. If you had wanted to spend the night in Houston, then you should have purchased your ticket that way. You can't expect the airline to pay for your holiday in Houston if the flight is on-time and not oversold. If you ARE on the last flight of the day, AND it's oversold, then, yes, Continental will compensate you with a travel voucher and hotel accommodations of their choosing. You would then be put on the next AVAILABLE flight to Baltimore the next morning.

Baltimore Maryland's Inner Harbor, Cheap Hotel within Walking Distance

Baltimore Maryland's Inner Harbor, Cheap Hotel within Walking Distance.?
Flights to Baltimore are really cheap and I thought it would be a nice get away to visit the Inner Harbor which seems really popular this coming Sept for my Anniversary. Only problem is, every hotel within the Inner Habor is soooo expensive. The cheapest I could find was $175.00 per night. Do any locals know of any other places that are in that area that are cheaper? Walking distance is a must seeing I won't be renting a car. Thanks!!

Any hotel that's right on the harbor will be very expensive. Check Hotels.com/Expedia.com and look for hotels within a 3 to 4 block radius. You'll save money and it really is an easy walk to the harbor. There is good public transportation, too, with both bus and light rail service available. The cab service in Charm City is moderately priced and very reliable. In addition, most hotels will provide very good information about taking public transit wherever you want to go. Plan your trip for a weekend, when rates are lower, and be sure to see Fort McHenry, the Baltimore Zoo and the Train Museum, as well as the National Aquarium and Maryland Science Museum, and don't miss the Walters Art Gallery. An insider's tip....the Aquarium is very uncrowded on Friday night and you can even arrange for a personal tour. The weather in September is gorgeous! Be sure to take a water taxi across the harbor to Fells Point for bar-hopping and a romantic dinner. M & S Grill at the harbor is very good and Phillips is a Maryland tradition. Obricke's, however, really does have the best crabcakes in town. Any town.

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it's very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.

How should I plan a ski trip to Vail, CO

How should I plan a ski trip to Vail, CO?
I desperately want to ski Vail for the last week it's open (April 8-15) but I want to spend no more than $3500 dollars. My group has three adults and one child (who skis free). I want a five-day ticket for one adult and a child, a rental car, a flight from Baltimore, MD, and lodging close to the slopes. Any recommendations? Also, if you wish, I would like to know from a Vail veteran where the best places to hit would be. We can ski any terrain, but don't prefer steeps. Thank you in advance for any answers!
