I'm a simple emigrant and I mainly fly with low-cost carriers

As long as the spirit of adventure hasn’t faded in us, the deciding factor when choosing tickets remains the price. Therefore, after going through all possible flight options to Singapore, I chose the Scoot airline. It’s a low-cost carrier, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines. Their offer did not include meals, nor the ability to charge a phone or watch movies (and this is important on a 13-hour flight), not even a blanket or simple water. But direct round-trip tickets Berlin–Singapore cost me only 409 euros. When I arrived, I told Masha that it was the worst service on a plane in my life. And I generally formed a rather negative opinion of this airline. But only until the moment I missed the return flight. The problem was that the departure was scheduled for 12:25 AM, which means 00:25 at night, and I somehow missed that moment. Waking up in the morning, I realized that while I was lying there unable to sleep, my plane had quietly crossed the globe. There was no point in getting upset; I had to do something. I looked at other tickets, confirmed that they actually existed, but the price… 350 euros. Not thinking twice, I wrote to the airline on Facebook, explained the whole situation, and that I basically had no money, and I left for the airport right away. Being there in person always works better. With few expectations, since it’s a low-cost carrier anyway, I nevertheless went around asking everyone who had any connection to it whether they could help with anything. I kept saying a hundred times that I understood this was my mistake and they were under no obligation to help me. In the end, two managers from different services conferred and told me that they could issue a ticket for the next such flight for 130 euros. I was very happy and immediately bought it. It’s a good thing Singapore’s Changi Airport is huge and you can easily spend a day there, which Masha and I did, waiting for my next flight. #curiosities
