When I want to reference a (rare) find without giving away what I'm doing I often struggle to say anything at all without just saying hey wwegiggybryanjeetzy gang here's something new.

I was here when this thread started (the first time).. it's not often i ask for any help.. but when i have.. i've never got a decent response really.. so i guess i expected it.. thanks..
only asked if you were pricing it down to the low 200's, or down in the 400s.. guess that's 'walking me through it'.. since i've not read the first page of this thread yet.. dont even know how i got here..

i've literally tried this on over 100 booking sites today.. i'm specifying all 3 critical items to help it find the flights.. it will not find the ST flights on any but 1 site (big-o) and it's about $483.. tried sites from ca, fr, br, au, uk, es, de, it..
Hate to say this but Yinzer's right. It's bookable, however if you eat this pineapple, you are going to end up "dumping" in your pants. Time to try a different animal

The sum of all you toes and fingers exceeds my taxes.

The " Regular" price for this 34.156 KM itinerary is $ 9.678.92 ( including $ 320.60 in taxes.). WWW is paying lets say - "LESS" ;
OK, I'll bite and guess - sub $1000?


I vote underwear strike be re-named skidmark strike.
