As I said, no amount and no hotel and it was 10:00 PM. They would have said $800 and a hotel, my wife and I would have taken it. We were returning from HKG and were tired so did not feel like volunteering if everything was not spelled out. The threats of the flight cancelling started before they thought of stating an amount which was in the $300 range. It took them 20 more minutes before they mentioned a hotel was provided but not which hotel and how close. And it was many months after Oscar had said that passengers would be treated nicely under those circumstances.
