I’ve missed a plane (American Airlibes I think it was) and they basically said no problem and put me right on the next one a couple hours later. It was between 2 major hub airports though.
Also pro tip if you came tickets on a Friday before a holiday weekend: They overbook the shit out of those flights and offer vouchers for free tickets if you give up your seat to a standby. They sort of bid it up and I got $1000, a seat on an empty flight the next day, hotel, and meal vouchers for dinner and breakfast the next day. A retired couple who lived near the airport used to do it for all the major holidays for free flights. They explained it to me as we cashed out together. Ended up flying to the total eclipse for free with my brother later.
