The return is the NA->EU segment that you’re saving money on? You would have no advantage to just booking EU->NA one way. AS doesn’t charge extra booking EU-USA-EU the same way it does booking NA-EU-NA.

Again, if you are doing regular trips you would be better off using another program to get to Europe then do round trips STARTING there.
