Stupid thing is, I know that and somehow completely forgot to look before posting! Only made a cursory investigation into it, as I would not have been free to travel then in any case, so did not devote too much time and energy (thank goodness).

The ultimate routing has been achieved. $288 AI C1-C2-C1 with an added bonus segment to be used later. Complete elimination of YQ, and that thick tax. All on the airline network for earth!
Hi! Could you (or anyone) please PM me what C1 and C2 mean? I understand just enough of this thread to know that there is quite a bit more that I don't understand.

But anyway, here is the input conforming to my proposed format.

So if you held your breath as suggested up above, then now is the time to exhale.

I am all the way to final credit card input page and all has been confirmed.
#12602 involved awards tickets. Am I reading this correctly that the +$45 eliminates the need for award tickets?

Nope, just that the revenue ticket ( while fully bookable ) was unusable in it original form and had to be restructured resulting in a price increase of $ 45.00. "but not actually book" should have read:
"but not actually use"

This works with an OJ! Can dump 50% on C2-SIN-C2.

But anyway, here is the input conforming to my proposed format.

C1-C2
Base Fare $ 38.00
September 6 - December 19
YQ:$ 362.00 => $ 0
"two added benefits" ( Coded Hint as to Xs )

So if you held your breath as suggested up above, then now is the time to exhale.

Arrow Maple syrup diet
Observing a lot of fat relative to muscle hopping from C1 northeast to C2 with a dash of maple syrup. Haven't been able to convince the Canuck to digest any of my 3X diet pills. Anyone had any luck with the Canuck lately?

.........../. That answer was Leading and yet Misleading and at the same time: Misleading, yet Leading, YOU decide :-)

My ex-Wife tells me that I am not smart enough to really know how smart I really am. Then I told her that was exactly WHY I married her. THAT DID NOT GO OVER TOO WELL. HELP ME ! ! WHY did THAT happen ? - Women HUH ! ! !

Depth-charge the YQ
