Four years ago, I moved to a different continent with a totally different culture. After four years, I love living here more than in my home country where I grew up. So your argument isn’t really convincing.
Re:U.S. Fines Airlines More Than $7M for Not Providing Refunds on Wednesday November 16, 2022 @12:39PM (#33627137)
Yeah that’s true. But I would like to think that covid was a special case, because otherwise I got my refunds within 2 weeks.

There might be a trick you can use with a pay later service like Klarna. For like a 10 euro fee, you have 3 months to pay the invoice. If you fly within 3 months, you can pay after you fly, or if the flight is cancelled, then the invoice will be cancelled. So your money stays with you at all times.

One issue though is that 3 months could be short considering the processing time if the flight is cancelled.

Another case where EU has this settled. If an airline cancels a flight, they are obligated to refund the money in the same payment method, or book another flight, depending what the passenger chooses. They have to provide accommodation in a hotel if needed & you can request compensation up to 600 euros if the cancellation/delay was done in short notice.
Google Search has become so bad that I have even changed my search habits: If it is a topic, I use the Wikipedia app to search for it, if I want opinions, then I go on Reddit.

But I have to say Google Lens has gotten superb at searching in real life.
