Can't wait to see DL's final loss from all this. Any guesses?
I suspect that Tokyo hotels were pretty full for tonight. I know that every Starwood in the greater Tokyo area is completely booked.

Let's not forget that it's a logistical mess to send a couple people to each hotel in the area that might have a couple rooms available, especially if most of the transportation options from NRT have already ceased operations for the night.

Still, I'm a bit surprised that the DL folks at NRT didn't manage to arrange hotels for D1 passengers and high tier elites even if they couldn't do this for everyone.
