I notice that the new Larnaca destinations are now available for booking. It looks like LHR-LCA starts on 29th March but I'm not sure about all the other new destinations.
This gives some extra options for 4-segment "same day" routings. For example:
LHR-LCA 20:45/03:15
LCA-ATH-HER 05:30/07:15 + 09:30/10:20
HER-LGW 17:30/19:30
These are available for around 79 Euro + 67 Euro + 101 Euro in June as an example. You even get time to explore Heraklion.
They're offering 50% extra award miles on sectors to and from LCA too.

If you left SKG on the following Monday you'd save 22 Euros, a day later 41 Euros.

Just booked my 4 sectors this August:
MAD-ATH-JTR-ATH-IST all for €250
International: Biz upgrade from Gold coupon
Domestic: 50% discounted from Gold coupon
I guess I might visit Greece as often as I can. Long way to travel though

I guess this is the best and cheapest routing from MUC I could find for my days...Do they sell cheaper flights once the date is approaching?

Well, of course revenue management could do all sorts of things to improve load factors if needed, but I can't remember too many (if any) examples where A3's fares have significantly reduced (although others will have far more experience than me) - much, much more likely to go the other way, particularly given the reduction would be needed on two legs on a given day. Relying on this as a strategy would be risky, to say the least!

What is a good site to book a multi-segment A3 ticket?
I've found an interesting return ticket, that has several stops but I can't ticket it. The sites I've tried allows 2 stops at most, but ticket rules seem to allow many more stops. Anyone who has booked a 2+ stops A3 trip with an OTA?

For example a ARN-ATH via KLX,MUC and SKG.
Matrix can price it, but I haven't looked at the rules to determine how it was done. I tried to book it like a multi-segment trip without layovers which fails. Trying to book it as ARN-ATH and filter the directs, will not show any routes with 3 stops.
