My flight to Lisbon got canceled and I ended up saving $200 on a better hotel.

I had to stay an extra night, so I booked a place 20 minutes outside the city center for half the price and found the local transit was amazing. Anyone have a go-to move for finding cheaper last-minute stays when plans fall apart?

Honestly my go-to move is just accepting I'll be sleeping in the airport lounge. Last time my connection got messed up I spent the night by the baggage claim, used my carry-on as a pillow. Woke up with a kink in my neck that lasted three days. Your way sounds way smarter.

Honestly sleeping in the airport is underrated. You said you got a neck kink, but that's just bad prep. I've done it a bunch. Just find a row of empty seats, use your actual jacket as a pillow, and set a phone alarm. You save all that cash and time you'd waste traveling to some far-off hotel. Waking up already at your gate for the new flight is a way better start than a long bus ride back.
