San Francisco International Airport passengers whose flights have been delayed or canceled because of the Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crash on Saturday are being offered special rates at many Bay Area hotels.

Travelers who need lodging because of the incident can receive special rates at certain hotels through Thursday, according to the San Francisco Travel Association and SFO officials.

Other hotels in the SFO area had rates double or triple their typical prices. 

Some hotels offering discounted accommodations include the Fairmont San Francisco, the Laurel Inn in the city's Presidio Heights and the Palace Hotel, among others.
