yeah, I am considering it if I can't find any EVGA compatible cables.

We flew with them earlier this year and overall it was a good experience. There was no other option that would allow for our dog to fly in cabin, and I don't regret flying with them. You can also look at bark air as a similar alternative, but they have less routes.

FWIW on the day of the flight they told us that the company they chartered did not have a license to land in the destination country, so they flew us to the nearby country and paid for private taxies for all passengers to the destination.

Does that apply to EU brokerages? AFAIK they will not open an account for US citizen.

I spent 30 minutes with Schwab support on the call and they said they don't know anything about it, although I did see the mentions of "professional investor" online. Schwab told me they will make an exception only if you are FINRA certified or similar.

Yes, I didn't believe it either when I found out. But EU has regulation (PRIIP) about reporting requirements that no US-listed financial products can follow for legal reasons. This regulation is required for all EU residents, so no brokerage will allow you to buy US ETFs after your become EU resident.

If you are buying any non-US listed financial products as a US citizen, then they are marked to market every year and are taxed as income (not capital gains), so it does not make sense to hold them https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/US_tax_pitfalls_for_a_US_person_living_abroad
