OK - I've looked and I can't find a thread - so apologies if this has been discussed before.

If you are delayed while flyer for any length of time, do you get better treatment if you are in First or Business Class?

I'm not talking about compensation, or about if you are delayed within the airport where you'll get lounge access, but about longer delays. For example any hotels they may put you in, the on ground transport they provide, the priority in terms of getting you on your way etc.

Anyone have experiences or comparisons?

I've been delayed but not overnight.. I received vouchers for the next trip that I ended not having an opportunity to use.

My parents been delayed on trip, and they received a stay in a hotel until the flights resumed.

I have found that I have received better treatment during irrops, while seated in F or C. Some airlines prefer to protect their premium passengers, over economy passengers.

You have answered your own question.

All airlines have different policies, even within the same airline, they handle differently base on the location and staff. And even within the same airline, same location (airport), you may experience something different each time.
