I'm sorry. I have to say it.

Our company had the misfortune to change payroll systems at the end of the calendar year when a massive snowstorm hit DC some years back. The company had to rent 4WD vehicles to go fetch the systems folks and get the payroll run. It may have run a day or two late even with that.

So I just got off the phone with the Diamond Line (only a 6 minute hold..not bad!). I had to cancel a flight for tomorrow that I no longer needed to take and simply wanted to make them aware. The agent proactively offered to waive the change fee and provide me with full credit for the flight that I can use within a year. Far beyond my expectations.

It's definitely the difference between a floor and a hotel room at NRT right now.

Did all medallion members get the hotel rooms at NRT? If not, at what level did they get it? I had understood that the rooms were given to Biz class pax, not medallion members.

Not that we could find. It seems like when NRT shuts down the ground transportation does as well. We even had flight crew stuck for a long time. The floor was not fun. And we had paid D1 seats. Not really blaming the NRT Delta staff though .... It was absolutely crazy. Go back thru immigration which was about to close, get bags back, customs, then just wait. Eventually pulled out the mats on the first floor.
I will say that the reservation line did a superb job getting us rebooked. We'll see if we can get out at 3 PM to MSP
