    Flight delayed out of JFK, will miss connection at LAX.

    Mrs AS is on QF12 JFK-LAX. Flight has been delayed 1 hour, meaning arrival to LAX will be 10pm. This means she will miss her connecting QF94 LAX-MEL (departing 10.10pm). What will QF do for her? I would hope a hotel at the least, given how late at night it is.
