Do not call the airlines under any conditions! This is the fastest way to kill the trick and bring unwanted attention to your itinerary! And do not post precious deals in this thread, this is by far the fastest way to kill the trick!
************************************************** ******
This is NOT the right place to ask: "Can you help me with a low fare for AAA-BBB?" This is not the beg-it thread, but the trick-it thread.
This thread deals with unique combinations of routes and booking tricks in order to lower prices on airline fares. Prices that would astound the general public are often achieved by the posters in this thread.
Many people, including airline representatives, monitor this thread. For that reason, it is unorganized, very content heavy, often lacking details, and written in shorthand. It takes patience and effort in order to understand the conversation and be able to participate as an active member.
We encourage you to read the entirety of this thread if you would like to get started and to experiment as soon as you understand the gist of Trick It. Lots of time spent reading, practicing, and learning is the only way to be able to reproduce our tricks and discover new ones yourself. There are many, many people who ask for advice here, so productive members are only able to help those who have shown a concerted effort and progress over a long period of time (months).
If you have no idea what this thread is about, a good place to start are various blogs' posts on the subject. At the very least, read the Rules for posting in this thread. They're also listed in the very first post, below.

Happy New Year! It's been a great year.
So far NO ONE has discovered neither my 36,000+ km C1-C3 for $300 nor my multi-city UNIQUE European Adventure for $260. Both contain at least one free stopover in each direction and have NOT been mentioned on this thread thus far.

Useful site for airline research is https://www.iata.org/en/publications...s/code-search/
Precisely. Also helpful is https://www.flightconnections.com/
Possibly the moderator might consider adding these to the wiki page.
All the regions are defined in the wiki notes.
I understand your code confusion like B6 etc.

what happened to the good old days of using riddles to share dumps.
just saying C to C with no hint of the X technique is one of the reasons this thread is so dead.
not having a go at you man4business. just a reality of whats happened
