. I knew that because of a typhoon my flight in Hong Kong would be delayed. However the airline wouldn’t let me change the time of the starting flight from Vancouver to avoid the bad weather. They promised a hotel in Hong Kong if the connecting flight was delayed overnight, but then once I got to Hong Kong it wouldn’t give a hotel. To make matters worse it attempted the connecting flight to Taipei, only to turn back halfway due to strong winds. After that fiasco they gave us 500HKD ( USD65) , which is not enough for a solo passenger to get a hotel anywhere near Hong Kong airport. There was a typhoon. What did the airline expect?
