But going through United didn't actually cost any more than what I had originally paid for the airfare. I ended up booking a flight the next day.

Right, sometimes that happens, especially with these smaller budget airlines. If you're desperate to get to your destination, you might have to bite the bullet and just book with an airline that gets you there sooner. So in that case, it does make sense to take the refund from your initial airfare, then pay on your own dime to fly with another airline.

Yeah, this is where it gets really interesting. So United was pretty good about, they sent me a text message pretty much as soon as that second flight was canceled saying they would pay for my hotel. And in that text message, they sent me a link to a website that had three different airport hotels I could choose from.

And then there was like basically a coupon code unique to me that I could use to book that hotel. Wow, that actually seems pretty easy. Yeah, you know, it was.

My cousin's house is like an hour drive, so I just stuck with the Silo Hotel from Ramada by Wyndham, which is not necessarily a hotel I would recommend, but it had a free heater, it had free coffee, so that's pretty much all I wanted at 3 a.m. Did you get any food?

Well, Megan, I'm glad you asked, because through the course of this whole journey, United just kept sending me more and more $15 food vouchers, also same textile, to my phone. Ha ha ha! But you couldn't use them, right? Wasn't everything at the airport already closed? Yeah. And then also we mentioned the two lounge dinners. So I was pretty stuffed anyway.

And then also the Capital One Lounge gives you to-go bags. So I had actually swooped a couple of sandwiches and this big bag of chocolate covered raisins.

Right. So at this point, I have three vouchers that only work at airport concession stands, and I didn't really want to use them after my double dinner. So I was like, maybe I'll just buy some See's candies, give them as a gift to someone back at home. home. But then I was like, huh, what if I buy Starbucks gift cards with this? And it actually turned out that works.
