You can fly cheaply into LHR/LGW and out of BRU/BCN/AMS for example and not pay the horrendous Her Majesty taxes. This is generally known as an open jaw ticket. Very common, very legal.
It is all a matter of base fares and fare rules.
i want to do this. into lhr, out of bcn on an openjaw. how do i get to bcn for free? can i fly iad-lhr-bcn-iad with a week layover in london for the same price as iad-lhr-iad? i sort of like the idea of that trip.
also, for some reason when using miles, LH for example charges about $500pp more as i recall for iad-europe, that ua does not charge.
