Delta, for example, offers a Day Pass for its Delta Sky Club. The club comes with complimentary Wi-Fi, comfy seats, food, and drinks.

“My number one piece of advice, this is the time, if you are not a member of an airline club, to spend $50 for a day pass,” Hobica said. “You’re going to get better service for rebooking, and information in the lounges rather than waiting in endless lines in the terminal, and it’s also a place to chill out and relax while you’re waiting to be re-accommodated.”
