If you want to travel on some of the lower booking classes on a route which only operates infrequently then you are taking a large gamble if you only plan to decide a few days before travel. If you need that flexibility then there are more appropriate fares unless you decide to gamble...which you did ... and lost; no ones fault other than your own
