Hey guys, it's this time again.
If anyone can help?
I've found flights for $2200
To make a long story short:

I'm upset at my cc company, so I decided its payback day.

They have a kind of a mileage program where they buy your ticket, but it eats the points/miles accumulated on card.

So the ticket received is NOT an award ticked, but a regular paid ticket.

I have to follow the following rules:

Departure has to be from AMS, CDG or BRU (preferred).

Ticket has to be in economy.

They stick to the real geographic areas to determine the miles (15k for western europe, 20k for turkey and east europe, 55k for usa, iceland and greenland).

Since europe and usa use relatively way less miles than other regions, I prefer them.


The idea is to find the most expensive routing starting preferably from BRU to europe/usa.

That means that the lowest fare has to be the most expensive, as they can say, hey, you can fly from A-B using an alternative route. (not just a flight, which happens to be expensive but an alternative is possible).

A possible answer is to choose a specific date, because the flights are way more expensive, etc.

I'd rather leave on a sunday, and be back friday morning the latest.

Its nice if the place is actually interesting (not a must).

I give priority to *A.


Lets see who comes up with the nicest and meanest idea.

If someone found something absolutely fabulous, I'm willing to consider flying to a different zone.

You need a Belgian ID to begin with, and a strong desire to make the credit card company pay for their sins...

Yeah, I don't get it either. Do you specifically want a good flight? i.e. not too many stops, to somewhere actually interesting (you keep mentioning Greenland). And just because you find an expensive route, won't they opt for a cheaper route?

BRU ANC is a long trip, but not that expensive, I'll explain again:

My credit card gives me points/miles for spending.

Tickets need to be on my name, starting in BRU and return flights only,  coach.

Say 30k = a trip to Europe
55k = a trip to iceland, Greenland, spitsbergen and north America.
80k = Asia

Etc

Now those points aren't real miles, it just means I call their travel agent, and they will book me a revenue ticket for those points, excl tax.

8k isn't expensive enough?? Would actually make a good trip though

That's exactly it!

Since they can play around a few days, it's tough keeping stuff on hold that long.
