The airport provided access to more than 400 hotel rooms and restaurant gift cards to passengers who faced overnight delays, YVR said in a release on Friday. Some of the chaos seen at Vancouver airport on Friday was caused by pre-emptive cancellations by WestJet, which suspended all flights into from late Thursday until Friday evening.
