This happens to me more than it should (through no fault of my own), so I'm curious how others handle it.
Do you men by an hour or a day or a week? Also, are you in Hong Kong or Rio or Sydney, or downtown Sh!tsville?
I usually travel on flexible tickets, so changing flights is not really much of an issue. If I'm in a boring place and I'm done my meetings four hours early I will almost certainly get on the first available flight out. However, if I'm in, say, New York in the summer and I'm done a day early I might head out to visit friends in the Hamptons.
The last time I was in Singapore, my meetings finished two days earlier than planned (there was a lot less arguing about the contract than expected). It was in the middle of the UK winter (rain, damp cold) so I spontaneously booked a two-day stay in Bali, which was great.
