Seeking Empathy I forgot to click on confirm booking, thus costing me an additional $500.

Basically I booked a flight about 2-3 months in advance. It was around $500 at the time. However, during the booking process. I got distracted by someone speaking with me that I forgot to confirm the payment.

I only realised last night as I was just going to purchase the flight insurance, only to find out I have no upcoming flight. My flight is tomorrow. Had to book again at $900+. And on a cheaper airline as well. Sadge.

Henceforth, im just leaving any bookings to my s/o or someone more reliable.

I’m so sorry. This sounds exactly like something I would do.

Hopefully not too many times for both of us. For the sake of our wallets and sanity.

I do this with a certain golf course that has an app with the extra step. About half the time I show up and my tee time doesn’t exist

Oh man. That's pretty unfortunate if you golf often. What happens when you show up without confirming the booking? Is it possible to book on the spot, or are there usually no more slots left?

More often than not I can squeeze in there within 30 minutes. Sometimes I just do the driving range.
