Quiet day WWE, I think everyone is still in overdrive trying to figure out all the stuff you past out yesterday...or was it Wednesday? Lost track of time trying to solve the puzzles.

I configured out the bf, but it's hard to find 3x, none of my usual nice 3x works on this route. Pointers?

Good news is that 1X works in reverse. Therefore for < 550.50 €

it is possible to go C1-C4 C4-C1 C2-C3 C3-C2 C2-C3 C3-C2



The easy ones I get, it is that 1X C1-C4 that has me stumped...

Nice find. The same classy carrier can also take you to the same cities, the same dates, for £353.40.

Just curious, is there a stop-over in S.E. Asia similar to the ones that speed bird had years ago??

Yes, this hint helps a lot

As I see fare rules and as you post it uncoded, I assume very special medicine is needed. Yes, I know, rules are made to be broken

You can go :

C2-C1-C2-C1-C2 + 5x for around 472.17 € in December/January

It is most probable still improvable, but all the fat is removed.

EDIT : Total Mileage is 18863 Miles ( It is irrelevant since it is very dfficult to price on an OTA .)

Bookable for 670.9 USD

You mean there was never a Queen Tasmania? No wonder I had such trouble!

OTA specific? 1X or 3X? On ITA shows prices around 700 Eur with the purple deer, so we need to point out a piece to cut the fat..10% discount code if you book on the carrier's website: PAYPAL13

Another tip:
http://travel-dealz.de/blog/air-france-klm-gutschein/

Should work until September..
