Isn't that Louane? A fairly successful singer and actress from France?

If you read the article you'd notice that she did carry and administer the EpiPen and still died later at the hospital. Not a doctor so no idea how that works but it seems like she did everything she was supposed to.

It also doesn't really work anymore. Haven't found any flights on skiplagged or by myself that would be cheaper (at least domestically in the US).

Two one-way flights are more expensive than round-trip. Don't ask me why. Same reason that the same exact flight from the US is twice the price as it is from Europe.

I have tried all kinds of variations and tricks that used to work to get cheaper flights.

I'm assuming this will work similarly to how Skiplagged worked. It'll be frowned upon but not strictly forbidden and they might cancel your milage account if you do it more than once or twice.

That a fair assumption?

How to make use of cheap tickets booked from Europe (self.travel)

I travel somewhat frequently to Germany and have noticed that flights booked from there to the US (round trip) are significantly cheaper than the other way around. They are often half the price I pay by booking the round trip starting in the US.

I've tried to think of a way to use this to get cheaper tickets but can't seem to figure out what the best way is.

My first thought was that I book a one-way flight to Germany from the US and then book a round trip flight starting in Germany with a much later return flight. The problem with this is that I would have to know when I wanted to visit Germany next and I would have to keep booking flights like that. Since airlines don't let you book more than one year in advance, it would force me to visit much more frequently than I am able to at this time.

The other option is similar to option 1 but instead of taking the return flight, I would book the flight as a flex ticket and simply cancel the second leg of my trip once in the US. There is nothing stopping me from doing that is there? As long as I don't do it too frequently I assume.

If that worked then I could fly (one-way) to Germany using miles, book the round trip flight for the return and cancel the flight back to Germany.

Sounds complicated all typed up but seems simple in my head.

Any reason this would be a bad idea or won't work?
