I'm not sure about anyone else, but I like to do chain flying (departing the same airport you last arrived at). For events however, sometimes the routes are one way to a city we don't normally fly to. Can we fly an unscheduled event return leg for events where DL has no coverage. For example the upcoming event from CDG/AMS - RVN.

If you would like to return on a leg not in our schedule, create a Help Desk Issue requesting for a pre-approved flight. List the arriving and departing airports and equipment that you plan to use.

Regards,

Terry

I have seen a number of events where an inbound and outbound leg were offered. I noticed that Josh has been very good at providing those options. Perhaps that can incorporated as standard operating procedure in event planning?
