Ah, that's a common one of the "chattering criticisms". But does it
actually happen any more? The closest is probably "You need to catch the
next available flight, which is tomorrow" (or possibly later, but that's
just a timetable thing)

And an air travel thing in general. Except in very extreme cases, the
next available train is the *next* train, as there is more flexibility
as standing is allowed.

As well as that, if you get stuck because of a cancelled last train, a
taxi is usually provided. This is practical for a typically short-ish
railway journey, but not for a typically far longer air one.
