Episode Details

In this episode, I talk about a flight to Abu Dhabi that was suddenly canceled just a week before departure. I had booked through Booking.com, only to realize later that the ticket was actually issued by Gotogate, creating a layered structure between the platform, the agency, and the airline.

I reflect on how cancellations happen more often than we think, and how booking channels can make a difference when plans change or global situations shift unexpectedly.

This isn’t a complaint, but a practical reflection on where to buy airline tickets, how to think about risk versus price, and why booking directly with an airline may offer more simplicity when something goes wrong.
