I doubt this will help much more, but the German sister site of holiday pirates sometimes has some unique content. They often, but not always, link to each other and don't always post at the same time. The German site has more of a central European bent.

Most of the deals are found (or published to everyone) by Polish sites though and later on copied by the Germans.

Besides loter.pl (mentioned already) www.fly4free.pl is the other big one I'm aware of.

Yes, they're good. I actually am in touch with them. I can't stop them from posting OJs but they remove all comments directly related to other tricks. Now, this is a crime: http://urlauber-deals.de/wurmflug.htm!!!

Let's not forget about such OTAs as pelikan.sk. Last CDG-LIM deal was published on this site and then copied to blogs: http://www.pelikan.sk/

If I take a certain flight C1-C3 and I double stack it with a relevant 5X, I can get twice the flights for $10 less than the original single RT. This I'm sure can be improved on significantly by the more experienced members.

My question though is that when I add my 3X, it prices in C/J class instead of Y??? That means the 3X suddenly costs $350 odd dollars v $70 odd dollars. I have searched for the 3X individually and tons of Y availability exist.

Now my presumption is that it is because only the C/J class fare is filed without any restrictions to add onto such a stacking combination, but I was wondering if anybody cared to share the reason for this or a hint on where to go and look to find a way around this? Thanks guys.

Your strike has some pretty serious restrictions. Look for a different one.

Let's not forget also about yet another Polish blog - http://www.mlecznepodroze.pl/ - from my perspective usually the most atractive from all of them...

If it's already out why not post where it is so FT'ers can benefit?
