Why not make your alternate the destination and your destination the alternate?

Take off with minimum fuel, fly a little low and fast, then you are sure to arrive at your destination with less than the required fuel. You will then be compelled to divert (hopefully while enroute) to the "alternate" and everyone's happy, especially the passengers.

So basically you're diverting to your intended destination, and not away from it!
