...but don't you think you are asking for a bit much? The only time an airline has ever paid for a hotel for me was when an overnight stay was required due to mechanical failure. Weather related delay...you are on your own. Long layover...you are on your own.
I am all about holding the airlines accountable, but you chose the itinerary....the additional expenses of food, sauna and hotel really were yours.
On the upside, it was a good read.
