Can I get flight credit for missed flight?

Ugh, missing a flight is the absolute worst, right? I remember that one time I missed my flight to Cancun… talk about a gut punch! I was so bummed because I thought, “There goes all that money – down the drain!” Seriously, who wants to just throw money away like that? And the airlines? Let’s be honest, they’re not exactly known for their compassion. A refund? Forget it. Like, seriously, forget it. It’s practically impossible. They might, and I mean might, let you reschedule…but then BAM! Extra charges. It’s like they’re punishing you, you know? For their mistake! Or, okay, maybe sometimes it is our fault, but still. It’s so frustrating. It feels so unfair! Remember all that tiny print they bury in the terms and conditions? Yeah, that’s where they get you. You end up paying through the nose whether it’s their fault, a delay, or you just… slept through your alarm (no judgment… we’ve all been there, maybe?). It’s just… ugh. The whole system feels rigged sometimes, doesn’t it?
