Plus I am trying to be constructive about what to do about the issue... Further, were I to not fly anywhere I would get one hell of a lot more grief of a very different sort. But that's a different story. I reckon you’re a bit harsh there – I have written at length about my ethical dilemmas about flying.

Secondly even if it did it would not matter as far as I can tell, since Belgian and Luxembourg airspace are both controlled by the Maastricht UAC (see <a href="http://www.eurocontrol.int/corporate/public/faq/about_us_faq.html#qa07" rel="nofollow">this</a>). As for the weather: wind was 10-20km/h from the east in Geneva when we landed, and we landed into it (i.e. apporaching from the west, and the runway is west-east). If the wind were a westerly or south-westerly then you might have a point, but on Thursday last week it wasn't like that.

Look at the route that you have plotted out: it passes over more countries than the direct route and, as such, I seriously doubt that airspace restrictions are to blame here. Have you checked the wind conditions on the day that you flew? And the position of the jetstream (the northern one winds anticlockwise so would force your flight in that reconfigured direction).
