If you fail to present yourself at check-in before the deadline, airlines don't "have" to do anything for you.
I was asking about IRROPs, not a late pax....

Having read this thread, I think it's fair to say that under the flat tire "rule," an airline MIGHT accommodate you on *their* airline for free (because it doesn't cost them anything) but will LIKELY NEVER accommodate you on *another* airline for free (because they actually have to pay the other airline). Does that sound right?
