I think the wiki is getting a little cumbersome. The history of good bargains might serve as instructive in finding new ones but much of it is just clutter and probably overwhelming to newbies.

Some of these runs are out of date. Unless there is objection I am going to delete those with an EWR-LAX segment because that flight has been discontinued, as well as all of those whose "book by" date has passed.

I propose a rule where, for adding a new run to the wiki, either the current date must be submitted and we automatically delete fares after two months (unless someone checks they remain valid and updates the date); or the fare expiry date must be included and we delete runs as soon as they expire.

Any objections?

Some of the runs listed come and go and leaving them there could be useful for revisiting in the future
eg
LAS-LAX-MCO-MIA-SJU
ORD-STL-DFW-SJU
are variable and will be back later in the year

perhaps they could be weeded out by removing the higher cost runs, the old thread was 1.25 per TP and below IIRC

I would agree to remove the runs which are not possible anymore, so those including EWR-LAX for example. Also putting expiry dates for runs would be good where they are time limited sale fares.

Perhaps for the ones which are not bookable at the same price at the moment but are worth looking at should be put in a reference section at the bottom of the wiki as they are good for inspiration and may come back again at some point.

  1. CHI-CLT-SJU
  2. CHI-MIA-SJU
  3. CHI-NYC-SJU
  4. CHI-PHL-SJU
  5. CHI-SJU
They not only exclude double connections, but also eliminate DFW option, which is the only 2,000+ mile option served by AA/US...

I had suggested we include 'date found' so at least it's obvious if a fare might still be around or it's more historic.

This is a good idea. I've often wondered how often the Wiki is updated.

As it is a wiki it just gets updated ad-hoc by all posters if and when they find something and want to add it.

So perhaps the wiki should look like this:

Live TP Runs
Date added - Date due to expire (can put N/A if not a specific sale end date) - Route - Booking class - Fare - Booking channel - TPs - /TP - Credit

Can be listed by airline as it is now.

Expired TP Runs
Same format as above, but move TP runs in which are currently not available - although I guess these may be weeded out after say a year or two if they don't make a re-appearance.

Not correct. What matters is the fare code and marketing carrier.

Booking on BA.com will show the AA flights as BA codeshare, booking in to J.
Booking with BA over the phone you can book the AA flights as AA code booking in to F (for two class aircraft).

I added that to the wiki a few days ago after reading your suggestion Agree it would be worth trying to rationalise things a wee bit.
