Yes at least ....deleted. I can do Texas to ..deleted ( not Asia ) but decided I will not do general sharing because it leads to airlines quickly closing the loops.

Last year I was put in contact with a woman in Toronto ( I think ) who helped find a very cheap ticket. As I recall, all you had to do was end your trip in Canada and the price went way down. I could be wrong but I think the price was about $ 325.00 ( does that sound right ? ). She also had a number of other ways and sent me a list of possible ways to do it. I did not quite understand it but she was very good and easy to deal with. Because we were traveling with a family of 4 and we saved a lot of real money, it was well worth it. If you are interested, PM me, and I can look in my files and see if I still have her telephone number.
Were you able to make any progress in locating her ?

The nice dropable fares ex DE are gone but there are still some nice possibilites to go to our sushi friends around DE for less than 300 return.
Btw does anyone has a list op dropped carriers ex C2?
Would be interesting to see if I'm on the right way.
Cheers

this one took all of 9 days, just a little "boasting" was all it took to remind them. I'm sure a quick read took them all of 5 minutes, must have had a chuckle when they closed it.

I may be misinterpreting your post but the trick I was referring to still works. I agree completely though - it is sad and a waste of hard work when tricks get revealed and shut down!

Yes I actually spoke to Tina just a few minutes ago. I was wrong about Toronto. It is Ottawa. She is not a travel agent and does not sell tickets but does travel advisory only. She says the learned routing rules from being a reservation agent at British Airways a few years ago and knows all the things discussed here but also knows special travel starting in South America, Asia, Europe, Australia and sometimes Africa. I PMed her contact info to you.

BTW I wouldn't be so glib about this. Workarounds are becoming more difficult for us, and get closed faster with all the chitter chatter around here. Some of the riddles have become so transparent, you would have to be an idiot not to understand them. THEY are not idiots......so, how many have you resurrected lately ???
