A friend once told me about a time they missed an important flight. They were stuck in traffic, and by the time they reached the airport, the gate had already closed. Frustrated and disappointed, they headed to the airline’s counter, hoping for a solution. Surprisingly, the staff was kind and understanding, offering a spot on the next flight without any extra charge. While waiting, they met another traveler who was also delayed. They ended up talking for hours, and that chance encounter turned into a lasting friendship. What began as a stressful day ended up being unexpectedly meaningful.
