and shared it with jorun - while I realized/verified that this structure can be extended to more airlines / solutions, it was jorun who investigated and identified the breadth of this structure, and more associated deals.^^^
Excellent example when underground collaboration worked very well.
The best part is that there is a good chance that many old dumps may be revived in a completely different way.I am going to call this structure "Compressed strike" which will reflect certain features of the structure while maintaining the confidentiality.
Hope you and Jorun will enjoy many cheap trips.

No, this is not an existing trick. I've just decided that my next trick needs a cool name. So I'm calling it Batman.

That was just a joke... batMAN. Would be (not so) cool if it turned out to involve MAN in the end though...

Oh. I thought you took it seriously and started looking for a 3X ending in MAN.
That said, there is a Batman in Turkey (BAL).

Penny-pinching, really. For some reason, it's about €20 cheaper (a.i.) to have the 3x on the day of arrival.
Since my 3x / overall fare is already quite expensive (C2-C1w at €400+ a.i. r/t), but I am keen on flying my particular alliance, every little helps.
