Do not call the airlines under any conditions! This is the fastest way to kill the trick and bring unwanted attention to your itinerary! And do not post precious deals in this thread, this is by far the fastest way to kill the trick!
************************************************** ******
This is NOT the right place to ask: "Can you help me with a low fare for AAA-BBB?" This is not the beg-it thread, but the trick-it thread.
This thread deals with unique combinations of routes and booking tricks in order to lower prices on airline fares. Prices that would astound the general public are often achieved by the posters in this thread.
Many people, including airline representatives, monitor this thread. For that reason, it is unorganized, very content heavy, often lacking details, and written in shorthand. It takes patience and effort in order to understand the conversation and be able to participate as an active member.
We encourage you to read the entirety of this thread if you would like to get started and to experiment as soon as you understand the gist of Trick It. Lots of time spent reading, practicing, and learning is the only way to be able to reproduce our tricks and discover new ones yourself. There are many, many people who ask for advice here, so productive members are only able to help those who have shown a concerted effort and progress over a long period of time (months).
If you have no idea what this thread is about, a good place to start are various blogs' posts on the subject. At the very least, read the Rules for posting in this thread. They're also listed in the very first post, below.

And looking forward, price doesn't even seem that special, but the routing on this is very nice if you don't value this certain airline's miles.

I think it's time to let this one go. Found it over a year ago, and amazingly the carrier decided to renew it a few weeks ago. Let's see if they did it on purpose shall we?
1) C1.5 - C3x biz $832 o/w no tricks (used to be dumpable for €271)
2) C1.5 - C3y biz $648 o/w self dump
both r/t can be had for less than double, no tricks
unlimited stopovers → C1 → C2 → C3

I do believe that you will need to pay a little extra to make this flight bookable.
£94.30 is bookable through a more well known OTA
£67.80 for those that do not require the return trip

C5-C3 R/T £46.71 All In
As flylonghaul mentioned certain OTAs more recently display the price but do not proceed to the final payment page.
That being said the lowest bookable price ive found so far is £46.71 or £56.97 if you prefer using a very popular OTA..
It also priced for £43.38 through another OTA although it was not bookable at this price!
