I double checked it with the bank and I remembered correctly. They will cover it as long as it is MCT or more. (as published by an airline)

And then we say SK IT is terrible. While the website and EBG system are somewhat erratic, they entire list of departures from CPH and ARN has not been cancelled by IT troubles yet.

For years, the US Embassy in Copenhagen has been warning Americans in Denmark that under Danish law it's illegal for individuals to fly the US flag on a flagpole in public unless getting prior government approval. Amusingly, a Danish family has been told to remove the US flag or face a fine from the Danish authorities. If I am not mistaken, they can put up a Swedish flag just fine without facing a fine. Go figure.

Normally the permission would require flying the Danish flag along side in a not smaller size than the foreign flag. They can't be flying from the same flag pole.

United has done so as well - and we are now reaping those rewards!!
(Met one of their IT programmers heading over on the UA BOM-EWR flight - he was pretty clueless and I really fear what they are creating!)

On another not it is not illegal to burn the flag - actually it is the only way to "discard" a flag that should no longer be used.

And the relevant quote
Det er dog tilladt private at flage med det grřnlandske flag og det fćrřske flag uden sćrlig tilladelse. Det er endvidere tilladt at flage med finsk, islandsk, norsk og svensk flag, uden at det er nřdvendigt at indhente sćrlig tilladelse hertil.
Endelig er det tilladt at flage med FN-flaget og det europćiske flag – dvs. EU-flaget – uden sćrlig tilladelse.
