Some years ago, on New Years Eve I was coming back from Portugal and decided to stop in Valencia to see a friend. We then found this super deal on a flight ticket back home, we just had to change planes in Paris. Easy we thought, what could go wrong?! Well, we missed the plane and not only did we spent a fun NYE in Paris, but we've made some friends in the airport with whom we celebrated the new year with champagne and music, partied until the sun rise.
Have you ever had a travel mistake that turned out better than the plan??
