I didn't want to get pulled into this, but this is becoming an unnecessary saga. EKinBigD, there is tons of info on what 1x and 3x mean bith in the wiki here as well as all over the internet. Definitions are pretty clear and uniform.
Can we let this go and move back to deals and runs??

My response was the fact you posted something you should not have. You have no idea what you are talking about yet you seem to think you know everything. You are making a lot of demands and no one is going to help you.

3x means you added a segment at the end of a RT to lower total cost. You showed a 3x that works for many people. If airlines see this, they will take action and people will lose the ability to use this 3x. Simple as that. The end

This thread needs to be cryptic so that it opportunities aren't killed.
Just look at manufactured spending and how it's quickly becoming impossible once the bloggers became intelligent enough to figure it out.
Thankfully most of them have no idea what this thread is about.

Thank you for the clear explanation anandrag.
But what I posted was a one way after another one way (actually a double open jaw).
So is that a 1x?
So a 3x would be like DXB-DFW-DBX/DOH-BAH - I assume?
Perigrinus, besides being rude you are wrong:
1. Based on the above it wasn't a 3x.
2 Based on the YQ's I posted they are exactly half of the RT ones.
3. You have no idea what I already know.

Let's just ignore this and hope it goes away. Obviously continuing to discuss this isn't doing anything but drawing more attention.
The damage is either already done or not going to be done ever. Nothing we can do at this point. Code your posts, and hope it goes away.

It's kind of obvious that the amount of childish banter in this thread comes in like clockwork and only incentivizes the people that actually put work into this to start looking at other avenues of sharing information..
This place seems to serve to kill deals more than share deals, lately
