Been out of the game for a while and I am willing to invest time and effort to generate savings for the above route. Was just wondering what's the lowest that can be had and if it fits into a rtw construction. At the moment I am stuck at around 1000eur on KE with (apparently) no FD potential

i'm sorry this probably isn't the correct place to post this question but i figured if there are flightfox experts on FT they'd probably be around this thread i was considering putting a request for an australia trip thru flightfox but the problem is i have almost no flexibility - i'd like to be on the same united flight outbound as family members who have already booked flights and on the return i'm flying from cairns so there aren't a ton of flight options (plus work wise i have little flexibility in days). flightfox already warned me during the submission process that this might not be a good trip to have the experts work on (too simple) and i was wondering if you experts agree? from having skimmed this thread on several different occasions i get the feeling that united flights in general are harder to FD on regardless. thank you in advance for any thoughts!

Why go through flightfox?

Indeed it's fully dumpable in all ex c1 routes.
Safe construction (I like WWE words ahahahhaha)

Have you seen the latest BCN/MAD-C4 (and C1.5) offerings on AA? E.g. BF for BCN/MAD-LIM is 5€ with 300€ YQ.

Can anything (flyable) be done with that?

Very nice RT prices from Bud-Yul-Bud on Tk 2014 jul-aug.

zagy

Indeed... Even Business class for 1000€.

Is there a way to remove YQ from this route? The only trick I know isn't very flyable

fabsys

it's seem difficult ... I found nothing

Tibor

Yes, but 50% discount on YQ is included, so price rise of cca 130e is expected.

I recently found the following in a fortune cookie: Confusius says: "safe" is: that which has been tested many times by many people over longer periods of time without adverse consequences. However, it is not safe to use the word "safe" if you are not sure what safe is.

Deltahater

Yes it can. for an amazingly low price too. Good through 4/30, Tues, Wed, Thu

nevermind.
As always 1x involved :/

thanks so much for the replies!!

sadly i don't know how to FD myself and i don't think i'll have the time to learn at the current time. jealous of all you experts tho

thanks so much! may have to put a request thru to flightfox after all! tricky thing is i have a tight schedule and really want to be on certain flights outbound from C1E. thank you tho for letting me know it's possible!

You are not in a good position to use FD. My advice to you is to buy the ticket and pay the full fare. FD is a hobby. I personally have been following this thread and managed to find few tricks. But never bought an FD ticket.

Fyi, Do not have high expectation from flightfox.
