This is something I've never had to face while flying, but sooner or later it is bound to happen.  Especially, if one travels by air frequently. At worst, I've had a flight or two delayed. The law of averages will catch you eventually and you'll find yourself stuck.

However, here's an article on a few tips on how to make a canceled or diverted flight a little less hassle-free.

Seattle's King5.com's article says:

SEATAC, Wash. - Travel experts say if you find yourself on a canceled or diverted flight, getting into the customer service line for an alternate booking is just one thing you should do.

While in that line they recommend getting on the phone with reservations or getting onto your wireless capable laptop and trying to get on a new reservation early. 

But Steve Danishek with TMA Travel says you need to make that reservation change with the same airline you're on. If you book a flight with another airline on your own, you may find you're not reimbursed under the airline's rules.

This was just for starters.  For the rest, go here.
