From my experiences , the order is more or less this 1 . If the delay is going to be 12 hours , keep everyone waiting , we will go when ready 2 . If delay 2 hours and another flight is going with with available seats , fill that up starting with most valuable customers first 3 . If no alternate direct flight , route as many passengers as possible to their final destination with 12 stop flights on own metal or codesharealliance partner 4 . If no other flight until next day , offer hotel accommodation to stranded passengers if decent airline or ask the airport to pull out temporary foldaway beds they have and it ' s camping time in the terminal . <| sep |> Sure . Throw me an offer and we ' ll figure it out from there .
