Consider travelling earlier to eliminate the risk.
See no reason for them to provide overnight accommodations. Sorry to sound harsh, but this is the risk you decided to take by having two separate PNRs.
I agree entirely..i am talking about a future storm. I havent booked the flight from east coast to west coast yet, pending further info some of which i now have. It was never possible to have them on the same pnr. But there is still part of the question unanswered. Will they put me on the next available even tho there may be no Z seats left?
