Question about Change Tickets and International Travel
I have a job where my travel requires me to travel within the US within a week's notice, other than that, it's remote work. However, I'd like to live in Berlin Germany. Is there away to affordably get airfaire to the US [and fly from wherever I land to the client site] and pull this off? I'm a member of the Star Allience programs, which means I'm good on UA/US + exp flights. [United Member, but I live in charlotte] I'm fully willing to do Sat/Sun flights and then connect to where-ever the client site is. [Which work will pay for fights within the us].

How do you define affordable? Did you check sites like opodo.de. I found Star Alliance often more expensive (likely because it s huge market share in Germany). Also fares are very similar to most places in the US. Could ou cut a deal with your emloyer that he just pays the equivalent of your domestic fare?
