that's not helping.. thats boasting.. NO ITS NOT BOASTING BECAUSE ITS a CORRECT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTION.

still dont know if my particular route is bookable at low 200s? or low 400's.. i asked.. guess that's too much detail isn't it..IT IS BOOKABLE at $ 200 + or less if you go to other country site.
In the 4th of 5 pms you sent me in a 2 day period, you finally identified your intended itinerary. Just to be clear -It is not your route. GIGGY identified a couple of months ago and You got it (1X ) handed to you from someone ( who should be more selective in dislosing ) here on FT on a silver platter for free and now you want to use it for your specific C1-C2 City pair. I answered you 3 times about how you might get it ticketed. I normally never do that especially to an inexperienced new comer and especially since you never indicated how you would be able to actually fly the 1X.
As such you are security risk for those of us you actually fly the 1X becasue if you "chance it "and do not fly over the high mountains the itinerary cancels and may attract airline / booking site scrutiny risking that the trick gets closed and the rest of us loose out.

How is this for the trick it thread when there is no F to D?

(in bold) are you referring to FT'ers or some other group that posts here?

Thanks for posting a good fare op!

Okay, I did not see it there! I'm happy I found the fare on this thread !

I should try to make some time to work through the trick-it thread and try to understand it. I have a couple of 12+hrs flights coming up, might be the ideal time and place for it! But threads like this particular one make life a lot easier for me !

when I say, Dont eat that Pineapple....theres a reason, Its called the domino effect. Sometimes a "little" knowledge can be a bad thing. Taking shortcuts is not productive and stunts your growth. Some folks are so eager to find what TO do, that they don't pay attention to repetitive posts that say what NOT to do. Theres no shortcuts

You do not need a visa unless you want to leave the transit area
