I did not ask for a hotel voucher in this case because it was weather related delays. There were so many people stranded in ATL that they made announcements at the customer service desk in terminal B that Atlanta was out of hotel rooms.

I actually didn't delay more than a couple seconds because the gate agent was at the door and I was probably the 4th person off the plane. Our flight attendants were awesome and asked those that were not connecting to remain seated so that we could get off the plane quickly. I was in the first row of economy comfort so I was out the door quickly.

A quick shout out to the Delta pilot that was walking by ... he saw me arriving at my gate and the door closed and he punched his security code walked down the jetway to make an effort to get the gate agent's attention (truly a kind gesture that I never thought I would see).

In 2 years of connecting constantly through ATL it was bound to happen. I guess I am rather luckily to only have it happen once.
