Those of you that have known about it for weeks - how did you hear about it? Just curious.

There are quite a few Whatsapp and Facebook (and no doubt others) groups that share the best fares - to prevent the blogs getting hold and ruining them, just like this one.

How do you get in? I thought I was quite well connected, but I’m not in those groups yet.
But I’m sure I could find someone who can vouch for me (like @beyounged or @armouredant ).

I delayed a bit and booked
No doubt this won't be honored now though, that's how it goes.

It was originally available as RT also.

It’s a bit ironic that you run a website that makes money off these deals.

Didn't come here for a fight.
But there's a reason deals like this dont get blasted across twitter or facebook when I find them.

Fare was increased from 34499DZD to 834,500DZD today at 4:33 am.
Anyway, I didn't know this thread existed until today. Congrats to those others who got ticket numbers, hope it's honored.

I know that with PL we can cancel online within 24h for a full refund, but let's say I need to cancel 2 weeks prior to departure, who would I need to contact (PL or AF) to get a full refund since its a Full Flex F ticket ?

Also if anyone knows, does PL charge a fee (Ex: Processing, etc) for the cancellation ?

PL.

I hardly can't think PL will process a refund for free.

You are talking about the RGN deal, not this deal, correct?
