For example, your first flight from your home airport gets canceled and you make the second flight to ORD, but from ORD you have only one chance to get to MSP and that flight gets canceled. Are you still protected by the commuter clause? Or do you have to make it to ORD in time to have 2 chances at getting to MSP.
