So, in short: did you try only those allowed, i.e. UA/AC WITHIN AREA 1, UA/LH/LX/OS/SN/AC WITHIN AREA 2 OR BETWEEN AREA 2/AREA 3?

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't tried those restrictions. Just searched for it but couldn't come up with anything. Nothing within Area 1 would dump the fuel charge. Nothing in area 2 would dump the fuel charge AND it made a new line on the itinerary at full Y fare.

I did find a hidden city ticket though, that let me book a T ticket rather than S ticket, but it only took $150 off of the ticket price.

-EDIT-
I was able to get rid of most of the LH YQ with a united island hop in the pacific, but that segment total increased the overall fare. Feel like I'm at least making progress now.

Nice find. Just wondered if your C2c city shouldn't be better specified as either C2 only, or C2w. Afaik, this city has not been used as C2c, was it? No offense, I only want to categorize it somehow.
And yes, a few cents below €175 possible. Not everywhere, not for everyone though.

SVO to GRU to AMS, May 13 to May 22 on Royal Air Maroc. Why are we coding this?

Yeah, we need to give more freebies to the bloggers

Almost 6 hours on a 737, this one will be very Tired. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Uh, where do you think the OP found it? Plus, Royal Air Maroc has had errors like this for a while.

nice to post about it after blog release :D ??

I didn't know it was on a blog already, certainly not the most notable ones. But of course now they all have it or will have it soon enough.

I already saw it on 2, including one enormous one. You read the wrong places, I guess.

Lax-c3 $280.50 ai

Lots of others too...

Can we please have the alliance? So the two-thirds of us not accumulating miles on the lucky one won't waste time searching...

no you're not making progress. You dont understand the basics I'm trying to tell you: if you look elsewhere than the allowed regions, you will not be able to get that fare to combine.
as nice as it is to see the YQ disappear, as totally useless is that with a high base fare. check the rules of that higher fare and compare them. so you will learn.

Hello All,;)


Newbie here,first post but have reverted back to this forum for tips and advice.

Came across FT by chance and have gained 'some' beginners knowledge by the various posts here and online searches.

I do believe that the numerous hours of research has been self satisfying especially as I have recently bought my very first FD fare.

Although I only managed a saving of €60 , it was an amount that was a bonus saving in my mind.

Only to find the same fare, on a different OTA afterwards to be an additional €50 saving:rolleyes:


Ams-HK €351 CZ.



Thank you for this commumity!!!:cool:
