Hi Ram,
Thankyou very much for such a detailed information.

* The cost of the transit (airport to hotel to airport transportation, hotel accomodation and food) are 100% bearable by the airlines.
* If you go for a city tour or do some extra spendings like shopping, you have to pay from your pocket.
* But there is also another point to note that when you are booking your ticket, you should take care that you choose the next immediate connecting flight to your destination, and if it happens to be more than 6 hours or so, then they will give you the free accommodation and food.
Say, if your next connecting flight to Chennai is within 3 hours of landing and if you have booked your ticket in a flight that is after 10 hours (to Chennai), then they wont give you any free accommodation. You have to sit in the airport for 10 hours.
Rgds,
Ram
