Donīt know what C88 wanted to say, but every trick has a limited lifecycle.
Some are working now for a decade, some work only for a few hours.
No trick is made for eternity.
It is possible that a trick worked yesterday and by tomorrow you will be denied. You always need to know that you are cheating the airline(s). And who want to be cheated?
Remind on the old dead cheap c2-c1 dump.
I know from first hand that the involved airlines knew exactly what you did. Sometimes they asked questions during check-in and sometimes they threated to deny boarding.
AFAIK they permitted boarding, but who can guarantee that they will do it in future also?
Also the actually frequently posted c2-c3 deals are a good example.
I know 2 reports from first hand, that people were not able to go on board. Both cases happened on big c2c airports.
Another second hand report is existing with denied boarding in c2e.
Sure, bad things happens. Not frequently, but it happens.
As I said in a previous post, you always need to know that a dumped ticket is risky. Nothing in this world is for free.
It is ALWAYS your decission if you want to bear the risk or not.
