Can't reproduce the fare anymore.
Thankfully book now, think later.
Have three bookings in July for departures from BKK and HKT. Trying to figure out which one I will keep.

* When the eUpgrade option is not available, it may be because the cabin is not offered on this flight, or because your fare is not eligible for upgrades.

Had a look at the fare breakdown on the ticket I booked and this showed up :
Not sure what the private offer is, but I appreciate it

For something i get offline or direct from anyone, or from a mistake-fare group, it's top secret.
Once something is several pages into a dedicated, public Flyertalk "hey everyone, check out this great fare!" thread, it's no longer covert.

But they do not have a dedicated team searching for such fare 24/7.
By calling the airline, possibly getting forwarded to a supervisor, this attention goes straight to the supervisor/person responsible for fares.
If the fare is posted on FT and no one called the airline, this fare might be active for 12h to 24h until the airline finds out about it.
By not calling the airline, you are giving the rest of us some time to research and booking this fare.
I am sorry but calling the airline within 48h after the fare is published on FT, you are simply ruining someone's chance to book it.

It is such a shame to find out someone with 4000 posts on FT has called the airline within 24h.

I don't want to be the source of anyone's unhappiness, for that I apologize.
Once we'd reached the point of having a group conversation about the best way to share these deals publicly in the main AC forum, it didn't even cross my mind that anyone was hoping it would stay secret for even an hour.

I'm not too sure how Google Flights found it, but googling the promo code leads me here...

Wow that's a fun read. Any ideas what this code was used previously for in 2019?
More interested in the second post, really, but it'll veer off-topic. If the reference to "downloads" truly was a file transfer limit (and not code for something else like BIS miles or whatever), what could they be rate limiting? And why for different tiers of members? Maybe reward searches under the old search engine?

Lol yeah, I considered calling the airline but specifically didn't for this reason as well. Google flights showed BKK-YEG in PY but clicking through to AC redirected to a search page that only showed Y (latitude) or J pricing with no option to select PY - and as an A3*G I don't have eupgrades to use, so I'll actually be sitting in Y, whereas I could've called them and had them fare it as PY.
I want to highlight to share your struggles about this booking with us.
Flyertalk is a community, we're helping each other to book the best fare we all possibly want.
Booking PEY was indeed possible, if done from ITA Matrix and book on Priceline.
Next time feel free to ask us, share knowledge and be better than the airline
