Just out of curiosity, how many people know how the compressed strike works? It's obviously my fault for not following the thread every day, but where there enough hints given on the thread to figure it out?

From what I can gather absolutely no hints were given about the "compressed strike" other than the fact it is amazing and dumps everything.

They could tell you, but then...

WWE posted a combo, ag2000 noticed something special about the structure, after some PM arbitrage jorun came up with the holy grail that ag2000 gave the moniker, but no clues and they could be the only ones who 'know' it.

Go back to the day before the anniversary of the terrible terrorist attacks, then go forward the number of days in a week plus the number in C1 if you want to read about it.

For those who want to smoke good cigars, you can fly from C2 for 165 EUR RT and for others who want to eat delicious steaks you can get there also from C2 for 255 EUR RT.

They are most certainly not the only ones who know it. I know at least 3 other people to whom they have given it. Sadly (and before you start bombarding me with PMs - if you've even read this far without clicking the 'send message' link) I am not one of those people.

Compress Strike Trick

Would be interesting to know, if the "compressed strike" trick has any advantages over a 1X or if it is just even a bit lower - just from the sound it reminds me of a 1X + 4X, but it must be something more advanced...

Highly OTA-specific?
Weird X-Structure (e.g. like 1X+4X+5X)?
...?

It looks like the idea/structure came up while looking for the DL C2-C1-EZE-C1-C2 flight...

Ai price seems to be quote low so I'm gonna guess arhat some part of the routing in c4 did it/does it. Perhaps in a 3/4x scenario , a 1x construction just doesn't seem as interesting around here.
