With so many people flying home this holiday season, flight delays and cancellations are inevitable, leaving down-on-their-luck travelers looking for hotels in unfamiliar cities.

Well, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has teamed up with Lowes to offer a free stay in a room decked-out with holiday cheer and coziness that can soothe even the most frustrated of flyers.

Lowe’s will decorate the rooms to be winter wonderlands “to channel the magic of the holiday season”. Ten rooms will be available at each of the 5 major airports.
