[Butch Cassidy Slept Here]

If the delay really was for weather you are out of luck. Even when an airline lies--fabricates a "weather delay"--it's hard to disprove. A few years ago a US-based airline was caught, by the DOT, lying about the weather and did have to pay a fine. However I suspect most airlines get away with lying more often than not. How much time was shown, between flights, when you originally booked? If you are connecting from one domestic flight, to another domestic flight, allowing anything less than two hours, at a major airport, is asking for trouble. Even if it takes an overnight stay, at the connecting airport, to create that 2-hour gap I think, now, you would agree it's worth it especially if you're travelling on a non-refundable ticket. I used to live near Philadelphia Airport ("PHL"). I would never recommend anyone attempting a connection at that airport if either flight is operated by US Airways or one of its commuter affiliates. The place is difficult enough to arrive in, and depart from. The only redeeming feature is the rail service that stops at the first four terminals. As to overnight accomodations: Unless you can find something in the suburbs, or in New Jersey, anything in "Center City" will cost you an arm and a leg. If there is an Eagle's game, or convention, going on handing-over your first born child won't even get you a room!
