If you mention the origin city and the amount paid it will let people know what you have achieved with too much detail on how. using some sort of reference to the origin city more subtle than the 3-letter airport code would be good also.

the other way to contribute is that I suspect you will get PM's asking for details :-)

I've booked something similar recently for 25K from C3S & also eating Do&Co

Can report x2 more pax were denied boarding at LAX last week due to cabotage.

Why are people still trying to fly a cabotage route? A proven terrible idea.

Because they already have the tix and as Jeffrey they will get a refund from LM if denied boarding.

Hi all,

I have a question. Can we talk open about all? I ve found some tricks. But what about saws, loops, irsh, and so on? Which one are still going?

Or better per message? Who help me?

Temporary plug?
 

Looking at the remaining C2>C3 boomer (35K), LM shows no availabity whatsoever for the next months, while the flights are clearly availabe (on ANA tools and KVS) even for next week. However, if you look far into the calendar say November, then LM shows availability again...

We are talking about the exact same flight combinations here, so mileage/25% of longest leg/timetable arguments in our recent discussions (they are highly interesting and useful though! :) ) won't explain this case? Could it be that LM just applied a dirty and quick patch to temporarily disable some routes?

For those interested in flying SQ F suites on A380 nows your chance SIN > DEL
Seems to be avail. most of next week haven't checked beyond that :)

Seven posts today that deviated into blog bashing have been removed from this thread. Again, we ask that posts abide by the forum rules, stick to the topic and avoid ad hominem remarks. This is our final request on this matter - future violations will be subject to disciplinary measures.

Firstly Many ^ to the Poster - other might not choose to share....


Really, all that fuss over a 5'10 min flight ?

Not doubting anyone else's priorities here, just seems like a short flight to justify so much interest.


Just to clarify, does the rumored long-haul availability referred to upthread exist on the 380 (in 'R') or just on the 777 in 'F' ?

Well, I am still finding C1 across the pond via other C's....................

I don't think we should talk open to anything. Even not the reserches about the boomerang algorythm of LM or Amadeus as it was discussed few pages ago... There are still a few tricks of LM working and with every detail we run the risk, that LM closes all those holes forever! At the moment we don't have the confirmation, that all not working tricks were cancelled by LM or if it is just a combination of their IT and lack of availability... Just think about when the UA flights were not bookable with LM... They came back, we don't know the exact reason why they temporarily were not bookable...

Somebodies action called the attention of LM about their holes... So I would not wonder, if they also read what we're writing here, as in this DOT claim FT was mentioned.

So we better keep it on the safe side!

Of course lm are reading it. This is a forum dedicated to their program.

As noted, plenty of people likely already booked tickets before all of this happened. At that point, with how things have already gone down, there's little harm for everyone in such a situation to just go, try to fly, and either fly or get compensated for being allowed to book the ticket. All parties are aware, so it isn't as though anyone is blowing any secret. That happened a while ago. Doesn't make what happened right of course, but now we are forced to make the best of a bad situation.

Refers to the pirate's favorite class (how is that for bad coding :p, and no it isn't steerage :D). They switched from 2x daily on other planes to 1x daily on this one, so there are no other possible nonstop options. Similarly short to me. It is actually less miles with the direct program, and there's plenty of similar space on even cheaper flights with the direct program.

I'm shocked, shocked any airline would monitor a forum dedicated to discussing it! ;)

25/40/55 miles Y/J/F one way- expensive for such a short flight, but I guess may be worth it to experience SQ F! By the way, not sure if it is First Suites or the new first class non-suites product.

According to your join date, you apparently don’t know the glitches (otherwise you will know whether they are alive) and want to know it by asking folks to reveal it. You should put more effort BY YOURSELF, not just asking for help. :td:

Would be Suites. All A380s are Suites. Even at 1.5 cpm, this is still $825 plus tax which is quite expensive just to experience it on a barely 5 hour flight, even if using The Private Room before. Just my thoughts :).

... and if my experience is any indication (I've yet to get to it in my travel report) then you will probably kind of wonder whether the whole thing was even worth all the hype. :P

I ve found some c1 c2 boomers in aug. Seems you must adjust the search a bit

I wonder if this thread will die down now that the promotion is over!

When I go to purchase miles it still throws the bonus in even though the 2x1 banner no longer shows ...

I doubt it; you can still reduce the points to $15/1,000 when booking, so the same rate as the discounted points.

This program has become a lot less valuable. All it took was one bad apple.

At least we can still get to C6 at a fair price

It will become like the trick it thread - where most of whats posted now is fantasy garbage.

please delete

I'll likely get to it one of these days (especially now that UR here in the states can transfer), and I'll probably be disappointed. But, as always, I'll find that out for myself :D.

That is really all it takes. So much of this is very fragile (not just LM), it really must be treated with kid gloves. I've lost multiple non-LM opportunities just in the past two months. But greed gets the better of a majority of people. Throw in the instances of the tragedy of the commons and I get surprised how long some things DO last.

Pretty much. LM then becomes just a way to buy awards for somewhat less, with maybe a handful of better opportunities that only work in specific situations. But, I personally still don't value F to Europe (as an example) at the $1000+ each way that it will effectively become, especially without earning miles. Not worth it, unless I really, really need to go, which just isn't the case 99% of the time.

Like I said, today is unsubscribe day. The value won't be here to bother spending the time on it, other than to use up whatever miles you already have. There's only so many hours in a day, and they can frequently be better spent.

Some LM "tricks" were never revealed on FT. Those are still bookable. For example C1 to C1 via C3

There are other "by invitation only" forums where these are discussed & shared.

Similar to mistake fares, before they appear if ever on FT they have been discussed, shared and booked many times over in these "secret" forums.

On a personal note, I've received many "nasty" PM's when I've publicly shared info, most recently the SQ F Suites route. Seems like a lot of people want to keep things hush hush.

Don't really understand why - where's the secret trick in the routing you posted? Isn't it just a not very well known route for a product which is limited in general? :confused:

Yes it was possible a long time ago, but not now.

At the moment ALL flights of OS are operated by tyrolean so I have really no clue what you mean. Just look at your boarding pass. (They have transfered the whole aircrew (pilots and flight attendants) to tyrolean)

Yes seems so. Must be new.

But it is a start.

Would be great for the wood tool to get another possible connection to C1.

You received nasty PMs about non-tricked SIN-DEL in F? Come on ;)

Don't tell anyone but I heard you can sometimes book FRA-JFK in LH F. :eek:

I thought all but one plane had been transfered. The one remaining Austrian long-haul aircraft is used to keep the route authorities alive.

That may be so, but some routes are still showing as available on OS in LM. I see at least three.

LH F vs. SQ F SUITES.. SQ anyday, everyday ;)

The flights I've seen in LM show an OS flight number to VIE in J. But whats the big issue if some are operated by Tyrolean?

Chainsaw flights are available in the next tree weeks. Just need an adjust in search

Most here thought, the reason for Austrian flights not to be shown on LM is that the flights are operated by Tyrolean. (Same like LH flights op by Cityline, they also are not shown).

c1 to c3 to c1 is dead, afaik. although i could be wrong, and was only available on one airline (to my knowldge) which was pretty meh

what sort of adjust?

Because you actually ever flew that airline in longhaul J or F, right? :rolleyes:
