Initially one of my friend who was going to USA via London, BA told that you stay in hotel and they will reimburse the bill. But just after one day they asked them to find own hotel, they would not be able to pay the hotel bill any more. Now they are facing the problem that they are not carrying much money, living on the credit card. Now no deadline it may take one week to 15 days.
