【明報專訊】Bill: Excuse me, I heard that my flight would be delayed?

MoMo: Sorry sir, but I'm afraid so. Don't worry, we're keeping track of what is happening. We will update all passengers every 15 minutes.

Bill: What will happen if I cannot get on the connecting flight because of that?

MoMo: We can check if there is another available flight with the same airline.

Bill: What should I do if there aren't any?

MoMo: We will arrange an airport shuttle bus to take you to a local hotel.

Bill: Do I need to pay for the stay then?

MoMo: No, sir. Since the delay was our fault, we will cover the cost for your hotel room.

Bill: That's a relief. Thanks for the information.
