You’ve been planning the perfect trip for months: that gorgeous, sun-filled apartment overlooking the Seine on one end and crystal clear views of the Eiffel Tower on the other; a slow breakfast filled with coffee and croissants galore; pre-booked tickets to the Louvre and d’Orsay; and three impossible-to-get reservations at Paris’ finest restaurants.
That sounds like the perfect vacation: if only you could get there in one piece. Unfortunately, your flight was delayed 12 hours; you’re not entitled to a hotel stay nor a paltry $12 airport food voucher; and you’re now paying for an extra day of the apartment and missed your museum and dinner reservations.
