At the very least, there should be an option for desperate travelers (like myself, who was stuck in Europe for over a week after planning to be in that miserable continent for less than 3 hours

My grandfather once went to Frankfurt - it wasn't planned to land at all - and he ended up stuck there in rather low-grade accommodation till 1945. And that isn't what you colonial types quaintly refer to as quarter "till" eight, of the p.m.
