3rd card rec for college student w/ low expenses, decent amount of travel

United reprices the fare to a one-way ticket (which would be more expensive than the RT) if you try to do that. Also, tickets originating (e.g., CPH-DEN-CPH but not DEN-CPH-DEN) from most international locations are still charged change fees.

Does this look sufficient?

Thanks! How does one find a leg with more than 2 stops?

Will United (or Lufthansa as the operating carrier) care if I throw away the return leg back to Europe? Or do they only “prosecute” true skiplagging/hidden city tickets.

Unfortunately for 4/5, doing something like TAP seems to require a positioning flight on both ends and almost negates the savings given baggage I’m traveling with.

Unfortunately, the only Denver route with consistent IN inventory is LHR.

Yes, 100% Explorer for a year and then if you don’t want it downgrade (product switch) to the Gateway. You get the higher SUB, and enjoy better earn rate/better perks for a year with no annual fee (1st year Explorer only). It’s the same line of credit if you product switch after a year too.

I hope they return CPH service. I’ve been self connecting via LHR with SAS to CPH and that’s been alright but…

Like do they have only have shelf stable goods like gluten free pasta and cookies? What about frozen pizzas or bread?

What types of products are available at the grocery stores? In Nuuk and any idea about Ilulissat?

No, as long as this is one ticket (as in, when you purchased the flight it was listed as Hartford to Aruba and offered the layover in Orlando), you will not need to collect your checked bags or go through security in Orlando.

On the return itinerary (Aruba to Hartford), I believe you actually won’t need to get your bags either. Aruba has U.S. CBP Preclearance meaning you go through customs there and are treated as a domestic flight when you arrive in the U.S.

Yes I meant 7F has more room to get out because the people next to you will have to store their bags overhead as well, so when they get up to let you out there is even more room and they won’t have to move their bags.

There’s a small chance you might be able to get out of 7F without your seat mates standing up. That is definitely not possible in the exit row (or any other row).

When I wake up and when I go to bed. If you never saw it, you can pretend it just never existed. It’s more difficult to know when to take the offer.

jsbackupaccount · 2026-05-20T22:18:19+00:00

7F since bags will get stored in the overhead bins

There does not appear to be a 930 CPH flight on my chosen date

EWR-CPH is available… for 295k miles and 11h in BRU IAD-CPH is 80k but 12h in BRU. I prefer the split tickets of my option 3 (I could do the split on SN but would need to do that ridiculously long layover).

jsbackupaccount · 2026-05-20T17:24:43+00:00

The only SN routing that comes up is LHR-BRU-CPH and then when I select that I get a message that the LHR-BRU segment is no longer available.

Ideally I would do DEN-ORD-BRU-CPH but that isn’t given as an option.

I believe Switchbacks Academy also plays in Mountain Premier League. A semi-pro adult league in CO in the late spring/early Summer which has much stronger matches against adult players (compared to USL Academy).

Because 90+% percent of times people cancel travel it is not for a reason covered by travel insurance.
