Wasn't much negotiated. They were pretty desperate. I asked if they'd go higher than $5,000 and they said no. I saw the later flight had F open and asked them if they could put me on it...and because it was 8 hours later, could they get me a hotel room.
They gave me the $5k on the spot and said the room shouldn't be an issue but that they'd need to get the flight out first. Once it did, they asked if I had a preference where and I said Waikiki and the Hilton and they said they'd see what they could do. About 15-20 mins later, they secured me a spot there, gave me transportation vouchers, and more food vouchers for being patient. And then I left to hit the beach $5k wealthier
