Perhaps, someone can do better than 50%?
It was already posted and probably you are using a wrong 3X.
Btw I was able to find 269€ only by forcing the carrier on ITA.

Not yet found the OTA

There´s an OTA that prices it at around 300€ at current exchange rate

This is due to an anomaly in the fare rules for your fare. It allows travel on BA001-004 in economy classes, despite the flight having ONLY a business class service. For this reason, there will NEVER be availability on those flights for those prices...

Some good base fares from many places in C1 to many places in C2 on Kayaks explore tool. 600-700 range BEFORE dropping YQ..some routes have over $400 YQ. I even see a few good ones from my home airport BOI, which NEVER happens.

Try to price one. Are they on TK? I always see bad fares on kayak explore, usually on TK, unable to price anywhere.

Would love a C1-C2 if it were real, though! Dumped or not, those are already good fares.

The one from my City was all on UA. I see some LH with UA codeshares also.

DL, UA, LH for the route I was looking. Other routing I see also with AA. None were on TK that I saw from BOI/ORD/SFO

Many have BF of $99 USD each way. From the home of the bulls you can get to Ha penny bridge for $557. Almost 260 of that is YQ.

Well yeah, the Dublin fares are pretty normal and have been all over the blogs for months from various US departures.

Is TK dumpable with a 3X for C3-C1? Just yes or no is fine.

c1-c2 with $30 BF #9822 on *A
I was able to dump 50%. But I'm sure Other could do better. Excellent BF.

Starting from the city where you could not golf this Sunday.


Would love to share knowledge with other via PM.
