Is it me or this is a great price for a trip from Italy to JFK?

I fly a lot but only within Europe. In October I'll visit a friend living in NYC so it'll be my first intercontinental flight. I'm not used to fares concerning these flights, but it seems like a great deal (economy light, obviously, and connection in AMS). Or is it normal? Just curious.

What's the difference between 'blij' and 'gelukkig'?

Duolingo puts 'gelukkig' as 'happy'. What's the difference with 'blij'? Are they interchangeable?

EDIT: Wow, that was quick. Thanks everyone for your kind and explanatory replies! I get it now

What are good cardholders?

Hi guys, I'm looking to get rid of my bulky wallet and buy a cardholder instead. I'm not a wallet expert so I'm a bit in the dark. I've seen a lot of ads about Ridge and Forge cardholders but I've read conflicting reviews. Are they not good? What are some good brands? I would like the cardholder to have the RFID feature if possible but not strictly necessary. I don't really care about cash/coins pocket as I hardly ever have any cash on me.

How is the Bagsmart Pro 38L?

Hi guys, I'm currently looking for a new travel backpack suitable for someone who flies several times per month. I like to travel lightly so I almost never take carry-on luggage with me.

I've been using my North Face Borealis Classic but if I try to pack for more than 2 days it becomes too bulky, heavy, and uncomfortable. I need a backpack to carry clothing and a few items for 3-4 days without needing carry-on luggage.

This Bagsmart backpack caught my eye. Does anyone know if it is any good? If not, which backpack would you recommend?

Can you guide me through SAP?

Hi guys, I'm FB Silver but I've never bought SAF - I travel quite often so I'm never in a rush to gain XP. However, I'm interested in how it works for future reference.

Does it have fixed costs or it depends on the segment? If it varies, what is a good ratio to buy it? I'm not sure if I'm making any sense. Thank you.

EDIT: I obviously mean SAF, autocorrect did me dirty.

AF flight changed to Air Baltic. Will I still get XP and miles?

Hi guys, I fly with AF/KLM monthly and this has never occurred to me. Will I still get FB XP and miles?

I've read that you don't usually get them on flights operated by Air Baltic. However, it's AF that 'forces' me to fly with Air Baltic so I think I should be awarded anyway. I'm planning to get Gold status this year so every XP counts.

Delta flight LHR-ATL changed destination to BOS? How come?

Flight DL31 from LHR to ATL apparently changed its destination to Boston. The aircraft hasn't taken off yet but it is shown as diverted. Does anyone happen to explain why? I don't think I've ever seen it before.
