DH is getting "paid" that right now.
He volunteered to give up his seat and go on a flight 4 hours later for a voucher that gives you either a free flight within continental US or $400 of the cost of the fare.
He called me to ask if I would be OK if he did that and got home 4 hours later. I am OK (because I would do it!!!). I have waited in the airport for many hours without getting anything at all for it.
He has access to the club lounge, and he got a food voucher too. So surfing the internet, having free non-alcoholic drinks while sitting in a comfortable chair... it is not so bad. And it is his "travel day" so he is officially working - getting paid to come back home. Tomorrow is a weekend, so it does not matter how late he gets back.
And I'll have dinner and premium margaritas waiting for him when he gets home.
$100 per hour to sit in the airport club lounge!
