Um, we're tolerating the fare requests in Budget Travel, and have been for a while now. We're just trying to come up with a better way than (on some days) three of four new threads are specific "what is the cheapest way to get from XMZ to YEM on July 25 and come back on Aug 12?"
It clutters up the forum and makes searching VERY difficult as some of these threads are going to sneak in there.
My proposal was for a single thread withing Budget Travel where all requests are dumped (for lack of better word), and if veterans feel like helping, then they can jump in. Of course a sticky with helpful searching tips would be useful, kinda like we have the LCC sticky now.
And
lin821 is right, many posters aren't realistic. A month ago or so they wanted sub $500 fare to Europe during the tourist season. With fuel surcharges that is pretty much gone even in the winter.
