Compensation

It has been policy if you are bumped from your initial destination leg of a flight you are not given a voucher. You should be offered one for any delays returning from your original destination. The problem with a red eye bump is that if you are on the initial flight out, you may not get much sleep due to the time to return home or even reach an airport hotel. Remember, you can always negotiate to a later departing flight or refuse the bump.
