My flight with AirBaltic was canceled due to fog at Palanga Airport, and the situation turned out far better than expected. After the cancellation announcement, I quickly received a hotel voucher via email and arranged transport into town.
Instead of using the assigned accommodation, I found a spa hotel nearby and decided to stay there instead. The location was close to the beach, and the hotel offered spa access, which made the unexpected delay much more enjoyable.
Although the delay meant arriving later than planned to Belgium, the experience turned into a relaxing break rather than a stressful disruption. The hotel even helped arrange early transport back to the airport and prepared a takeaway breakfast for the early flight.
Overall, what started as a frustrating cancellation ended up being a surprisingly pleasant travel experience.
