Hi all

I'm new here, so hello everybody.

I'm here because perhaps some of us could share his/her knowledge with me as for how such deals (see subject) can be found.
I'm an EU resident and I love to hunt special intercontinental flight deals, departing from Europe / returning to Europe. As for the standard return journeys - it's not easy either but it's incomparably easier than in case of deals that are about returning to another city than the departure one.
More and more airlines tend to have unbelievable prices from time to time, provided that you apply the correct combination of departure/destination/return airports & dates. They're never advertised on the carrier's site and throughout the years I've dug through every existing kayak & expedia & itasoftware & ... but none of those tools lets you track those; you can only use some of those to confirm the prices once you know every forementioned detail.

To put it more simple:
There's this PelicanTravel company, a Slovak one (mentioned already on this forum), which runs a portal called Flipo (only in German & Polish as for now), which contains the "special offers" tab, listing some of those special offers. Every low cost flying portal I know, mentioning the deals I'm talking about, refers to this particular site and none other.

Examples:
BCN - KUL - TXL, 354 EUR
BCN - BKK - TXL, 354 EUR
BRU - GRU - LHR, 466 EUR
DUB - MEL - FRA, 670 EUR

They appear every day.

How do you think they find them? I deeply doubt there's a bunch of blokes clicking the whole day searching, the combinations are too numerous. Many of those deals contain not 2 but 3 legs per direction, which makes the search extremely hard. There must be something that help them automatize the search. My guess is they've an API bought and they perform a kind of brute force querying on a set of airports OR have some kind of an agreement with some of the carriers that hint them; whereas I doubt the latter as there's too many of the airlines issuing such deals.
In theory, the tool that COULD help with is a bit, is matrix.itasoftware.com as it's virtually the only tool that lets you enter a list of airports as a source AND it returns the output in a monthly view, split by the length of stay. Unfortunately it works so bad that it's useless for this purpose.

Any thoughts?

Best
