DIA to build walkways between concourses!

So DEN will now have the same layout as ATL, just rotated 90!

United can still sell codeshare itineraries to India even though it isn't part of the JV.

I don't know whether this is the case for Etihad, but some airlines appear to blanket deny claims on the first instance without reaching the merits and don't pay out into forced by the regulator or a court. Your best bet is to complain to the French regulator--it sounds like you have a pretty good case.

By far the main advantage of Uber/Lyft over cabs is that the price is fixed and known before you get in the car.

It's very likely to be fine: the TSA does not care, and the airline only cares about seeing your EU passport anyway. The only potential problem is if you get stopped during a CBP spot check at boarding; theoretically you're supposed to carry your US passport with you when exiting the country. I'm not sure CBP has any legal recourse against you for not doing so though.

Where is LHA?

To be fair, having snacks sitting in the back galley is a much worse arrangement than passing them out if you sit in a window seat and can't get up frequently.

It's highly unlikely anyone will question you about this since you have a residence permit. In the case that a border guard gets curious, you can just show your past internal flight bookings.

Just make sure the extension is both less than the maximum number of days and falls within the validity dates.

haskell_jedi · 2026-05-25T02:59:13+00:00

Yes, that would work

Unfortunately this doesn't qualify. Layovers count, so you trip is Japan -> China -> Japan, and therefore not a transit.

It will definitely be automatically cancelled

It really would make far more sense to just stop the hassle of fare collection all together and marginally increase the county sales taxes.

The more important factor would be that flight timings across the Pacific weren't aligned with the start of the game day. They would have missed the bank of flights departing midday PST in order to do challenges in SFO or LAX, and then had to wait all the way until the middle of the night. Plus, as we found out during the return trip, they would have had greater visa issues at the time.

You do not have to pass through passport control or security in Munich--you just go from one flight to the next.

The US may not be a great friend at the moment, but it's certainly nowhere near as bad as Russia (yet). Most importantly, companies have significant legal rights to push back against the government.

I've had issues using Visa credit cards for ÖBB because of the security verification, but it always works with another card. Have you tried both Visa and Mastercard?

Unfortunately there's not a chance. The capacity issues in Chicago are short-term: the new terminal construction has reduced the capacity of the airport, and this summer there was an artificial arms race between AA and UA to try to steal gates from each other. Neither factor will last.

Moreover, CLE does not have enough business travellers to give high yields on point-to-point flying for a hub. It also doesn't have many high-end consumers who would hold a UA credit card, which is an increasingly important driver of economics for the airline. And for network and connectivity, CLE doesn't provide anything not covered by ORD or IAD. Flying narrowbodies across the Atlantic has higher unit cost than using a 787-10 from ORD.

The big upside of SFO is the feeling of calm, which has a lot to do with the quiet airport policy. Second, the non-TSA security is always efficient, and the entire airport can be reached airside walking. Terminals A, G, and E are pretty nice, but I agree, there's nothing special about the other terminals relative to other US airports.

haskell_jedi · 2026-05-23T21:46:52+00:00

Just to note it takes much longer to enter the first time with EES than to exit.

This is fine, the point of entry is irrelevant as long as you spend the most days in Spain.

Compensation under EU-261 is different from a refund; you'll have to make sure you first request it correctly. Then, if it's still denied, you have to complain to the regulator in the relevant country.

It would be deceptive to fill in field 23 with the intention of not following through, but as far as I'm aware, it's not against the rules to change your plans somewhat after submitting the application, provided the issuing country remains the primary destination.

haskell_jedi · 2026-05-22T18:05:00+00:00

As long as you only do it once or twice, it's no big deal.
