Asked on Oct 10th, 2011 on Contracts - Illinois
More details to this question:
I purchased round trip ticket via online agents. When I arrived at the airport on my return date the said airline was not there. I was told that they did not operate on that day that I should come back the next day.
I had to return to my hotel. When the cab driver dropped me off he made away with one my suitcases containing very important documents in addition to some other valuables.
I incurred other expenses for the extra day I had to stay without any arrangement by the airline. I also missed some important appointments on account of including a job prospect.
Do I have a compensation case against the airline for this mix-up???

You may have a case against the airlines for "reasonably" foreseeable costs associated with the extra day stay-over. It is difficult to say whether the theft would be classified as foreseeable, it would be a fact to be determined by a jury. It is likely, barring any disclaimer from the airliner stating that it is not liable for canceled or misscheduled flights, that you have a case for some damages.
