I therefore concluded that there’s always gonna be some choosing involved unless you leave it to the ticketing agent. But no NEXT flight technically…

If the ticketing agents get commission, you’re getting the priciest ticket/destination.

If you have anyone else involved, you can compete like in Jet Lag The Game
I would love to see something like this!

Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

Parents/in-laws?
Jury Duty: Nothing to do there but chill and write a TR. Kinda like the beach but missing the view and ocean breeze.

How about stowing away on a random ship?

Yonah tried this and it was quite an adventure.

One way to do it with miles might be to use seats.aero for the next available mileage flight out of your airport

Has anyone ever walked up to the ticket counter at the airport, asked for the next available flight, and taken it?

I knew bachurim who did something like this as bein hazmanim trip - go to tachana merkazit and take the next bus or the TLV train staition and take the next train. I may have done it once or twice but I dont remember exactly.
