Saying which C? the strike is in, is being too explicit. Please consider editing your post.

booking site help
Hi guys, need your advice on some wizardry here.

I am trying to book an all-C1 ticket roundtrip... tacking on a domestic 3x cuts the fare substantially but I cannot find a site that will let me book. Can you PM me if you have any ideas? Thanks

C1-C2 in April
I am searching for a C1 (DTW) - C2 (Bier) in April. Found a flight for $892,4 with a YQ $476. I was able do dump the YQ to $240 with a 3X.
Any hints for doing it better (OJ, DQJ, 1X or other 3X)?

Best regards
AAkira

If you know what the words you have typed mean... if you are actually doing all of your travel in North America, and your "3X" lowers the actual fare as opposed to eliminating surcharges or taxes... then you are most likely dealing with hidden city ticketing. You can usually book those on the airline's own website with no problems.

There is no need to code questions. I assume you look at DTW-MUC?

With 13-miler it is now $665. Base is $128.
Do you know a carrier with lower base fare?

I'm playing with this $72.50 fare from my C1 home to C2 in feb/march. I'm able to get it down to $467 on a OW carrier but I'm more interested in the *A same base fare. Unfortunately, after trying a bunch of tricks, I'm only able to reduce YQ by 25% to somewhere around $600 ai on *A. I guess I need some new *A tricks, can someone point me towards any? PMs ok. thx.
