IT fares
I have found some unbelievable IT fares to places for example NCE at £340 in C booking class. There are also other special C class fares to Athens and Istanbul at ridiculously low fares. Im sure most of you are aware of these special fares but does anyone know how to get same day IT fares as they all seem to require a min 1 night stay?

Aren't the point of IT fares that they're special deals for flight + hotel combined? Prett hard to get a hotel without at least 1 night...?
BTW what is so 'unbelievable' about a 340 quid CE fare to NCE? You say it books in C, is that CEUCBA or CEUNBA? i.e. are you buying flexibility too which makes this better than an I class which is considerably less than 340?

On a longhaul IT, which has the more usual nominal cancellation / change fees, Trailfinders told me recently that the ticket did not atcually have to be issued until a few days before departure, thefore circumventing even those fees.
