About 2,000 passengers were stranded overnight at Hong Kong International Airport as Typhoon Noul battered the city, with some dismayed by their disrupted journeys while others complained about hotel room rates that had risen from HK$2,000 (8,600 baht) to HK$3,000 per night.
In the airport's departure hall, almost all the chairs were occupied on Sunday morning, with some passengers sitting on luggage trolleys. Many slept on benches, while others anxiously checked the status of flights on their phones.
