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.

The first post just says "you can generate a "deal" that leaves certain surcharges off if you know how to do it." lol

C2-C6 is back to its old tricks.
Prices can be seen as low as €208 all in rt
For my own convenience and sanity however I would pay a little more and enjoy the trip.

Hello! Long time lurker but this is my first post here. I have been trying to get my 3x to work but i have some questions about the direction and specific location of the 3x given my desired RT. I know better than to post that directly here, so i was wondering if I could pm someone with some yes/no questions. im trying to make sure im actually getting this and not asking for handouts. thanks

Your price did tempt me to try and break the €200 barrier but i could only go as low as €203.54 all in through to payment page! Which of course is a negligible saving but a great price nevertheless!
Has anyone managed under €200 to payment page? It used to go to €170s before they amended the fare rules!
Also the appetiser i used is between two big cities on a route ive flown myself, which compared to the usual appetisers being often deemed "unflyable" by many.. this most certainly is not!
Good work flylonghaul..
