Wow, that's cool. I'll have to look into that one myself;-)

I need to fly BRU-JFK and BRU-ATL a lot for work.
I discovered some funky fares with Delta.

BRU-ATL-BRU: $1500
But add on a weekend in Chile: BRU-ATL-SCL-ATL-BRU: $900

Such itineraries with a weekend added on, even to far flung weekend destinations, nearly always come out cheaper. So my boss approves my BRU-ATL itinerary for $1500, and then I book a funky itinerary for $900. Win-win: I get to travel somewhere for free, my business trip costs my company less than expected.

That's a very old trick. While living in NYC in the 1980s, I booked JFK-BRU-JNB-BRU-JFK cheaper than JFK-BRU-JFK on Sabena.

It's 100% leisure for me. As travel and aviation are my main hobbies I just try to live them as much as I can, that's a personal choice. Don't get me wrong, I'm not rich and don't have a "high-end job", but I do have a very good advantage to have a flexible schedule that allow me to be off from work often when planned accordingly. I then try to find the best fares possible, which is almost an everyday quest, no kidding, but also part of the fun :)

Lex, you beat me (or us :lol: ) on this ! I was looking at that very flight earlier this week and it's indeed very tempting as it can be done for a very reasonable price on a two days trip from BRU. I'll probably make it in october...
