I'm repeatedly amazed at how some members of this trick-it thread, who really should understand the need for being discreet just end up openly posting information on different threads.

It used to be a better deal... then it got 50% slaughtered some time ago. I'm guessing the remaining 50% isn't too far away. Case in point of why discretion is needed.

FRA-BOS one way

I need to fly one way sometime next week FRA-BOS. What I have learnt so far is, if I do FRA-BOS and then add EWR-LON, then I get a cheap fare of about $661.

Can anyone help me find anything cheaper using FD or any other means? I need to fly a *A carrier.

Thanks

I'll probably need help at some point when I actually start to look for a fare to use and my wife now thinks i'm a little crazy, but I've sort of enjoyed wandering through the 400 pages of posts I have to try and figure out the coding. It isn't *that* hard. I spent maybe 3 hours and have a basic understanding of the codes.

Frankly, this whole thing is similar to how my office is. If you just ask for help without any research, nobody is going to help you. But if you do some homework, explain your reasoning and just ask for help on where your logic might be flawed, my experience on this board is that people will help you.
