yes, useful but many times other OTAs are cheaper that are not listed on kayak

I agree with that. However, I also found several times that link through Kayak is cheaper than direct search same itinerary on that OTA, e.g. bigO and lm.

Didn't allow EoE before, now permitted but there's a section that I guess might null the usual possibilities.
air berlin is about to launch GER - NYC from 333€ in an hour according to blogs.seems to have been part of a newsletter.
not a dump, but financially close.

Yes saw it, weird thing they changed the fare rules often last week back and forth. Would be a potentially killer combo.
As Fuyao says there's still cheaper a/i with more departure options.
edit: gone.

I don't understand why WWE post only stupid think with his latest posts. I remember that he usually write good post but now he is crazy with the compressed and post only trick with compressed. That's not good, it doesn't make any sense continue to post always the same tricks.
Seems also that nobody want to talk about good stuffs in public like in the past...

1)c1-c2 RT biz class (revenue ticket) 569€. good 3x.
2) LH and BA c2-c3 RT can be partial dump with no x factor involved

Please read point 2 without changing the meaning. RT = round trip.
I don't post mislead info like WWE: 1x when it isn't 1x or "no x factor" when there is a x factor
X factor = 3x, 1x, 1x/4x, 3x/4x, etc...

Can CA exC2 be dumped by more than 50% using a 3x?

The BOS-SNN fare can be dumped but so far only getting as low as $870 r/t with 3x.
Any luck elsewhere?

You can go lower with 3x... also make sure the domestic segments are booked in F not C (will cost the same, but earns more depending on program).

can this be LOwered? (C2-C3)
There seems to be a Christmas sale (24th through 31st) for flights to China ex Poland. BF is 88.5 € (per trip) with a total of 250 € of YQ. Rules stipulate "END-ON-END COMBINATIONS PERMITTED WITH DOMESTIC FARES." and "TICKETS MUST BE ISSUED ON LO." Any chances to dump this?

Yes, many 3x dump 100% on CA c2-c3, you need to find it on OTA and it will not save you that much since CA usually only has <200 EUR YQ. PS, you need EoE to dump CA which means several super low classes (K,V, etc.) cannot be tricked, I know S class works

sorry, Iīve been so interested in all these dumps in past days, that I overlooked this little thing:-) But still havenīt found any x-factor, so this looked a bit unbelievable, that it can work so easy...and even that someone would tell something uncoded, so that even those, who still didnīt penetrate this theme enough, could understand it more
