I have a flight for tomorrow that has been cancelled due to impact from Ida. The next available flight is (in theory) the following day. I’m looking at hotels and it seems like availability at the better properties in my departure city (for tomorrow night) is limited.
I’d like to secure a hotel booking tonight (for tomorrow night) and claim it under my CSR trip delay benefit. But there is, in theory, a chance that I’ll get out on a flight tomorrow that connects and avoid having to overnight at my departure city. It’s unlikely, but possible.
So my question is, in order to claim the hotel expense, is it sufficient just to show proof of the cancelled flight (with explanation from the airline that it was weather related) or would I also need to show details of onward travel?
