Luck is changing, can it be the DOG year??

99.9% of the time when you book a budget flight, and unfortunately due to whatever shit, you're not able to make it... you are not going to get ANY refund at all. That is for sure. It's budget, it's €0 or £0 for the flights, all you pay is their taxes.

I recently booked a flight to Milan, and due to unforeseen circumstances, I won't be able to go along with it anymore. The website offers a NO CANCELLATION policy. So there was nothing I could do. I even thought of selling them on ebay, just pay some fee for the changes. But that didn't work out to be worth so much trouble. I thought,"Oh well, what a luck! Let it be."

Some days ago, I received an email about the flight that I booked to Milan. There were changes in the time schedule, I was asked to accept it. I didn't bother, since I am not going anyway. And there wasn't any option for me to cancel or say NO to it. So funny, how can they force you to accept something!? Strange enough, today I got a reminder email about the flight. This time, I read carefully under that "Click to accept" link and I am now allowed to cancel or change the flight for free by calling the hotline.

Of course I rang them up. I am getting a FULL REFUND!! It's like a miracle, I guess sometimes patience does pay off. This is really rare (a 0.1% chance) and I credit it mostly to luck! Can this year be a better one for me after the Lunar Chinese New Year??? I certainly am very hopeful about it =)
