I'm sorry for your perception that we are making smart remarks. I have re-read this thread and I can understand why you would feel that way. Please believe that all comments were meant to be in good humor, and no offense was intended. Unfortunately, with the limited amount of information you have provided, we can only provide general advice.

All paid air travel is subject to what is called the "Conditions of Contract". This is the reams of paperwork that represent the airlines shot at rules. They change frequently. What these rules entitle you to, and what the airline might do for you can be two very different things depending upon why you were ejected, how much business you give the airline, the mood of the rep you speak to, and a million other variables.

Airline compensation when they are at fault, and the only damage is a being put on a later flight is usually limited to the cost of your temporary accomodations and meals, upgraded service on the next flight and a voucher not exceeding the full fare cost of the flight you were bumped from. With no other details of your situation, that is the most you could ask for.

If we knew what reason they provided to you, we would be better able to determine what you could obtain.
