That has been around for quite some time. You could even get a C1-C1 Jeffrey but it never goes to the actual booking page (errors out).

They have first class suites on that route (and few others) I think

I only saw boomie on TK for coming home from the world cup but also errored out

Suites are available on planes that are leased from 9W. But they aren't sold as F.

If you're quick and lucky, you can get a F class seat (but no special F service) on a TK J ticket

TK doesn't operate F anymore @:-) but uses the award booking class for something else :p

I am trying to find the best routing to do GND/BGI/POS to London/Europe around the 18th April - if anyone would be kind enought to PM me with a tip I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance ;-)

Not entirely sure what you mean with "best routing". If you mean "saving some miles", you're in the wrong spot with these three airports, as they're only served by North American airlines (with the single exception of a route to Panama by Copa)

Look further north, check next two weeks in Business to see the routes. But it's too early to book them for April 2015.
And London is way more difficult to achieve than let's say Geneva.

What, pray, is a baguette award?
A very long straight flight that's only tasty on the same day?

He might be referring to the land of baguettes lol

elva Jun 3, 2014 10:16 am

Woodcutting to Iowa available in C on June 17th. I thought LM blocked these now due to (imaginary) cabbage.

the common ones are gone but i realized one still works although space is sketchy and not great. and i don't think maple works, only rhapsody. and natural as well i think

Is this an actual trick or did you just pop up on here assuming we have names for everything? Honestly, some of this nonsense makes me want to beat my head against a wall.

Too many "seas" ;)

A huge TPAC boomie is still alive and well. Again for clarity it does not involve any mistakes - just forced carrier and routing. 42 hours +

Yep. There's also another that goes from C6-C2 (2 stops for you to pick).

Yes I know that one but yours is almost twice as expensive.

LOT TATL Non-Stop to Northern Neighbor in BIZ also doable.

Yes we speak Boomish here. Maybe we should call this one Quasi-Boomie.

also works to sushi i believe, tho j space is hard to find

scibuff Jun 4, 2014 1:28 pm

Just for the sake of clarity, I suggest that (true) boomies should involve just the *exact same* regions as per the award chart while quasi/faux/semi boomies can be any *boomie* which offers a discount. Also, please leave miscoded/misplaced landing strips out completely.

With that in mind, I still have yet to find a working (true) boomie - apart from a "prince of persia" and a rotten kiwi.

I agree.

And I do have a number of others for you from C3 (more than 1 airline) and from C5, and these are all real boomies where the airline is forced. Not the kind of lonely airport story where a combo of airlines achieve the boomer (all of those seem to work anyway)

And I haven't checked all regions, so I'm sure there are others...

Yeah, I forgot about blood *diamonds* and similar *gems*, those still seem to be on sale unaffected by recent embargoes

pmdg7444 Jun 4, 2014 6:25 pm

I'm looking for a trade (don't laugh - we ALL had to start somewhere here right?)

.....plus Im proud of what I've found already.......its better than how 90% of the rest of the population travels anyway......



I'm looking for a boomie/chainsaw/deal that originates or touches C6 or TPAC. F/J

F is preferred. :cool:

eg. C6-C2 or C6 - C1, or one that is TPAC.

I can offer up: C1-candy or vice versa that goes via the ATLANTIC 25k J

or some C3 to C3 that goes via C2

Pls PM.

there's certainly fewer boomies now (is that what we're calling them?) but certainly the concept still works. but i've found that there are a lot more cx-cy-cz boomerangs now, forced. the "natural" ones have been around for ages but they're certainly not convenient. very few cx-cy-cx still works but they're around

For a long time there's no wood to cut and it was never a "F route". Haven't you read anything here to the last thread? :confused: There were a lot of such requests...

wood is back to cut.

and i'm pleasantly surprised that my post was deleted.

Is it only allowed to fly "the friendly skies" for the TATL-segment when final destination is the woodcutting-tool?!? Even from Canada no maple flights are allowed...

How do you separate rules from availability?

Definitely didn't use to be like that but it seems to be so at least on several routes I've checked. Also seems to be like that running the "chain in reverse"

Well United.com shows plenty of space on LH, e.g. April 25, 2015 but none of that shows up on LM
