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.

Trying to escape from C2e big winter to C3 smile OCT-NOV RT.
GreatWall//GolfArab//TukTuk in the game +.
30bucks to island - 291$ (-$88) // Cheap C5 - 325$ (-$50) // self 261$ (-$113) but only in ITA
Stuck but ready to dig other tech.
No luck with OTA for Tuk, only one mobile APP, price disappears before payment step, fully ITAble. Found 1 payable other C3 islands route 270$ very specific, dates, OTA, POS, not ITAble.
Long work and small result. Any hints to complete the quest

Dear Trick-It Community,
I was affected by the heartbreaking tragedy in Istanbul, as I was to fly from Atlanta to Dhaka via IST to visit a family member who is near the end of her life, but my outgoing flight was of course canceled in the wake of events. I need to urgently get to Dhaka from Atlanta (outgoing leg ASAP/return date flexible) and would appreciate any assistance in dumping this route on any airline.
I realize it is not the norm to share these sorts of tricks with strangers like myself, but I’m asking for a very specific one-time exception for a very limited circumstance.

It's all about CA/GF/TK and most effective found 3X's for C2e red square to surat thani. Overcoded maybe, so in addition TLH state fort/tiny sC5e/hubs, last working for many other С3 routes.

The Kentucky Klondike Bar, The Panamanian Petting Zoo and The Alabama Hot Pocket all dump very well
