COMBINATIONS ARE FOR CARRIER KL/AF/AZ/OK/DL/AS/QX
While i dont know what the 'advanced 5th level instance purchase' means.. you should be able to dump that one..

I'm not saying the worst will happen, but buying a dumped ticket with codeshares between two airlines in bankruptcy, who both may have halted scheduled service to that city you're headed to... Odds are a human is going to study this itin at some point.

But any additional flight is required to be ST? Has anyone done a 100% dump with all ST carriers?

Cool Spring Break!!
Spring Break is coming up Mid March and since I need to get away from the Second City, I’m going to be able to experience some Cherry Blossoms with a quick c3-c3 dump. It dropped the yq from almost $500 to a comfortable $170. Bookable on the O.

Mods, let me know if I need to be more cryptic.

Exclamation
Please refrain from off topic posts or comments.

Any discussion related to the BRU deal should go on that tread, which is here.

Your help in keeping this thread on topic is appreciated.

I've been slaving away at the new SK dump for the last few days and come up with some interesting drops but nothing that's 100% Since I'm located in Swe this piece is of particular interest to me. Any hints?

I don't think I need to state the obvious, but for the benefit of anybody who is not a regular here:

All discussion of using tricks, routings, booking of fares in ways that drop the taxes on fares, aka fuel dumps / tricks, belong in this lounge thread.

It's left pretty much as a lounge thread for discussion of everything related to these tricks, until someone upsets someone else and the thread gets even messier than usual.

The Mileage Run Forum Mods (if I can speak on our behalf) just come in and clean up the mess when it gets to this level; however for everyone's sanity, please try to stay on topic and not cause offence to other users of this thread. After all, you are here to help each other find, book and enjoy these fares!
