A couple of months back I began by bemoaning the chore that often characterises travel, especially air travel, and, prompted by the uncaring attitude of Emirates, the opportunities presented when something awful happens. But sometimes, against all odds things go unexpectedly and unusually well. You may say that hearing of especially fortunate travellers is simply a source of envy, but there can be lessons and opportunities for the writer too. You do not have to solely write about your own experiences and any story of exceptional events has possibilities.
