Same result and same feeling here. I've been away for too long to have a good grasp on current *A techniques.

While this specific example was for next week, LH is also advertising some decent C1-Spain fares for next month which have a low base fare.

It is killing me as I am getting nowhere but I am still trying. I have learned to keep my hat glued to my head.

Longtime lurker here. Crazy challenge for Padres flights. I assume you're playing with *A. Can't seem to knock it down more than $50. I've been plugging away using the route map - no success.
A bit OT - I tried a 3x for a C1a-C2b, C2c-C1d itinerary on a OW flight combination and it knocked it down an original price in the $950s to $581 on the result screen of our favorite heavy lifter. Then for some reason after selecting the first and second flights, at the point where I had to pick the time of my 3x flight, the price shot up to $970s. Has anyone had this happen to them that the price changes as you're going through to the 3x segment confirmation.
Also, any more hint re: Padres much appreciated!

Can't get the return to price right out of A standard R/T is $769 on those dates but I can't find a FD that works.

I'm not so sure he is talking *A, I got OW pretty close...

$642.60 is best I can do. But I can't even understand the clue (which I'm assuming was the re), so all my plugging has been random. Along the way, though, I did find a partial fat burner that might be helpful in the future, so at least there's that.
