If I don't get on my 22:30 flight and the next one is at 07:30, I've
not the time to find a place to stay so I sleep on the airport's
floor. No big deal.

Well, chartering a jet costs a great deal more than a room

Is there a motel anywhere near JFK, for example, or Dulles?

Of course there are. Not cheap ones near those two but they are
atypical. BWI has a Motel 6 nearby, so does Newark.

But even if you end up at the Plaza, it's an order of magnitude cheaper
than chartering a jet.

Of course if flights are cancelled due to weather, the charter plane
can't get out either.

Anybody who doesn't have a hundred bucks cushion in his travel
budget

A hundred bucks? Perhaps, plus a taxi to and from hotel getting at a
location you have no idea where is or whether there's a room
available.

In 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented a device called the "telephone".
Perhaps you might want to familiarize yourself with it.

isn't doing a very good job of contingency planning.

I do. I check everything so I don't have to carry anything thus
giving me the same freedom of movement I have at home.

Including your cell phone and credit cards apparently,.
