Flyertalk is a place for people to discuss various aspects of traveling from car rental, hotels and trains on up to flying. A big part of FT is how to maximize use of miles from Credit Cards & Airline Frequent Flyer Programs.
Flyertalk itself doesn't have access to any secret fares or anything like that but it does help people maximize their return from flying and the experience mostly via earning points. There are a few forums for Hotel deals, Mileage Run deals/Cheaper than normal fares people have found & a premium cabin version of cheaper than normal fares people have found.
It's not a place where you ask someone to search and find a deal for you. That's what travel agents and the like are for.

Welcome to FlyerTalk.
You may wish to read the fora of the airlines you fly and look for threads about sales, etc.
You may also wish to look at fora that deal with sales and offers; start here: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mileage-run-deals-372/.
We do not have any member discounts or fraudulently provide affiliation codes that could potentially earn discounts; that would violate travel providers' terms of use, and we will not take that risk - you should not, either.

Most of us here are not travel agents, but travelers. If we knew of any special secret discounts (I don't), we'd use them ourselves, perhaps share them with a few friends, and do our best to make sure the word about them didn't leak out beyond that.
