My wife was on DL 1685 yesterday on her way to CVG to connect to DL 44 to CDG. She was traveling on a BE Skysaver Award. DL 1685 experienced a cracked windshield in flight and did an emergency landing at ORD. Unfortunately, by the time they sorted everything out there was no option to get to CDG on the evening of the 11th. DL did put everyone up in hotels and got them to CVG late in the evening. Those traveling on International itineraries are stuck till the evening flights of April 12th. While they did a fair job of picking up hotels and meals, we have lost a day of our vacation in Paris (I'm already in CDG on a business trip).

My question is has anyone experienced similar and is there any compensation for the lost day. I'm going to see if they will allow us to change our return by a day later without penalty.
