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.
