Last flight of the day Cancelled?
**edited post**
Hello,
Thought I would ask here for any 'first-hand' experiences;
In a few weeks I am flying from Australia to SFO with Qantas then connecting to Portland, OR with Alaska Airlines.
These flights were booked as part of a Qantas Rewards ticket.
The flight to Portland is the last scheduled AS flight out of SFO for the day.
If for some reason that flight is cancelled, will I need to pay for overnight accommodation or will the Alaska Airlines provide accommodation; or since I bought the ticket through Qantas, is Alaska not 'responsible' (for lack of a better word) ?
Going by the flight's recent history cancellations are very rare so I don't expect there will be any problems, but would like to be prepared just in case.
Cheers.

Flying For Fun, sfozrhfco - Thank you both for your replies and information provided.
Interesting to know and helps confirm my earlier thoughts.
For some reason I had 'LAX' on the brain. I'm actually flying into SFO.
Having a quick look through the schedules and it seems that United Airlines are the only airline who have a later flight.
I assume AS would not move me onto a UA flight.
Alaska's remaining flight for the day via SEA will require an overnight stay there, so I again assume I won't be moved to that flight.
I'll research some airport hotels that fit my budget and will set up Uber and Lyft accounts just for the unlikely event I'll need to stay the night at SFO.
Thanks again. ^
