The Time I Booked the Wrong Flight… and Made It My Best Trip Yet

Don’t panic, pivot.

I had 2% battery left, a dying signal, and a “just-book-it” mindset. I needed a flight out — fast. I clicked, I booked, I confirmed.

Only… I didn’t.

I showed up at the airport, passport ready, and was told, “You’re going to the wrong city.”

I blinked. Then I leaned in.

That misbooked flight led me to a coastal town I’d never heard of — and the best pesto gnocchi of my life.

🌍 T.R. Avel Travel Tips:

• Always check your confirmation email. Like, really check.

• Don’t fight the detour. Sometimes the trip you didn’t plan is the one you needed.

• Save battery life. But more importantly, save your sense of humor.

🧳 Moral of the story? Get lost, stay curious, and bring a backup charger.
