Welcome to FT! There is no harm in sharing a deal that you saw
advertised. Do so with a concise post in the MR
Deals forum, and only after you have bought or decided not to buy your own ticket.

Airlines lower fares when they anticipate low demand, so publicity and resulting demand can kill good fares. You'd think that one post doesn't matter, but the Internet is a great multiplier and has on occasion surprised us all.
