What they did
The Alaska flight was delayed and threatened the connection to Amsterdam. The agent, running on its own cloud computer, talked to Alaska, Delta and KLM at the same time, found a new route and requested a free rebooking, which the passenger approved.
How it went
He was rebooked at no cost and avoided a night in Seattle, according to the post.
Good to know
Airline-caused delays usually entitle you to free rebooking; it's worth asking.
