I agree - but the OP thinks that since his clearance limit is an airport
that he is to fly to that airport, THEN navigate to an IAF to do an
approach. He wanted to know what to do when arriving at a clearance
limit when there are no published holds at that point. I could not
believe someone flying IFR routinely does not know what to do. That is
why I posted it.

I hope you are not saying to do this at any airport.

As a controller at a class C I want you down. We will be watching you
on radar. ATC has no idea what your estrimated time is to any fix in a
radar environment. Don't sit anywhere and hold. If it's VFR pick an
airplane to follow and land, just like your NORDO in the pattern. If
your IMC pick an approach and land.
