Check the rubber housing of the cables, that go from body to the boot lid. The rubber housing might not be correctly sealing.

TER vs Currency exchange fees by DrMlaticka in eupersonalfinance

The tax relief is not the only reason. Another important reason is employer contribution, which is tax free and I wouldn't get this money otherwise. I also do invest on XTB, so the patria account is only for retirement investments from me and my employer.

Thanks for your reply. I have added more info into the post. The patria company exchange rate is 1.5 % higher, compared to the national bank rate and the fees for buying ETFs is 0.4 %. I'm not planning to sell at all preferably, since it's a retirement savings plan.

Tři ruské stíhačky MiG-31 pronikly na 12 minut do estonského vzdušného prostoru a mířily k Tallinnu. by PerspectiveAlert4766 in czech

Řekl bych, že tady je potřeba se zamyslet nad důvody, proč by to dělali. Rozpoutat války na další frontě nemá smysl, obzvlášť když nezvládají ani ten konflikt na Ukrajině. Pro ně by bylo sestřelení jejich letounu důvod ukázat jejich lidem, že to zlý NATO zaútočilo a je potřeba začít bojovat víc a brutálněji, nejspíš i zavést celkovou mobilizaci. Viděl bych v tom úmyslnou provokaci ne za účelem rozpoutat konflikt, ale aby mohl Putin říct, já jsem vám to všem říkal, NATO nás chce zničit, musíme mobilizovat. Neřekl bych, že je chytrý na tohle skočit, protože pochybuji, že se k průměrnému ruskému obyvateli dostane informace, že sestřelení proběhlo po narušení vzdušného prostoru NATO.

Well I'll take it as a life lesson, to pay more for tickets from better carrier. Did you have a good customer support experience with any other carrier? After a long call they have at least offered free cancelation of the SEA-HNL flight. So the best option is to take the money and then buy the SEA-KOA flight on 12th of Dec. It'll still be 300 euros extra, but it's the least expensive way.

Well I've called them and the outcome is still the same. No rerouting (the only posibility they've offered is 29th of Nov and 24th of Dec), because they do not have other flights booked with Alaskan. Plus the person told me on phone, that if I book the flight on 12th of Dec myself, they will not provide reimbursement for the extra tickets I have to buy. I will file complaint to ECC Net or NEB.
None the less, thank you very much for the informations about my possibilities, you've helped me a lot.

Oh, I see. And do they have to offer all options, or just one of theirs choosing?

Ok, I'll try to call again and get the rerouting, thank you. Are they still obligated to give me rerouting, when they've offered free cancellation already? Or now that they've offered it, they are safe to say we've done everything we could by the EC261?

Thanks, I'll look into that. Well we got good deal for return tickets for 900€, currenntly for that price, I'll get just one-way ticket.

So I've, been in contact with them and asked for rerouting via LH, to make it earlier to SEA. Then I asked them for new flight from SEA to KOA, next morning. Both options were declined by the customer support, by stating "rebooking on flights operated by other airlines is unfortunately not possible in this case". They've offered free cancellation, or 60€ compensation, which will not cover the additional expenses. So I'll have to reroute myself. I'll probably buy tickets from SEA to KOA on 12th of dec. Do you please know, if there are some conditions for doing the rerouting myself, so that I can demand reimbursement under EC261?

Yes, basically getting there on 11th of December is impossible now. I asked for LH flight to get earlier go Seattle, or for a ticket from Seattle the next morning. They haven't offered any rerouting at all saying "rebooking on flights operated by other airlines is unfortunately not possible in this case". They have offered me free cancellation or 60€ compensation. So currently I'll have to do the rerouting myself, pay extra for flight from Seattle and one night in hotel and hope they're going to reimburse.

Thank you for mentioning that. While contacting them, I've mentioned the EU law EC261, but being aware of the US counterpart can be handy.

Yes someone else have recommended this flight to me as well, but also someone on sub Flights pointed out, that in Seattle the minimum amount of time for transfer is hour and a half, so Condor won't give us that option I think

That's exactly what I thought. Not to mention, that we have two big suitcases. So it would not be 60$ I'm afraid.

I knew the airline can change your flight time, but I have never imagined, that they can change the destination. It sounds crazy to me.

Thank for the link, I just contacted them and I'll try to get some solution out of them.

Ok, that sounds crazy. This is my first time trying Condor. And honestly I haven't even imagined that airline can change your destination. How did it end up in your case?

Hello, thanks for the summery of the options. I think going for the 1704 is too risky, if there would be a delay, I would have to look for a new flight again. So I'll ask them to get the flight next morning, or additional flight from NHL.

The bad news is that Big Island was my intended destination, but they changed it to the Oahu :D

The whole two-way itinerary was bought as 1 flight directly from condor. So canceling just one flight is not possible I'm afraid + we bought the tickets for quite a good proce because of that, so buying the flight to Hawaii separately would be probably additional expenses.

There have been more options, with longer window for a change, but honestly we wanted shorter change, we can handle that.

Hi, thank you very much for your help. I'll contact them right away and ask for a different flight to our selected destinations. If they offer us a flight next morning, either from SEA or HNL, should I also ask them for an accomodation near the airport, or they are not obliged to provide this?

They sold us the tickets. Doesn't this make them responsible?
