I have been looking at the FT forums for years to get good ideas and ways to save on airfare; and I have always found the forums useful and very helpful. What you guys are suggesting about hiding and making information a secret goes against the idea of what FT stands for. I know a lot of others might not agree with what I am saying but the reality is that when the info gets to FT its already public knowledge and the airlines will find out the "tricks" and shut them down. You have to realize that FT is also monitored by airline personnel so regardless of what attempts to make "tricks" a secret and form some sort of a secret society within FT will ultimately fail. I know we would all like the tricks to last longer then they sometimes do but realize that when using them we are already getting over! My advice is just jump on the deals and "tricks" for as long as you can and enjoy the ride, as these "tricks," are an added bonus and not a priviledge!!
