Logically these two remarks don't contradict each other at all. 40k could be to Africa. Or not from C2. Or after May. Or he doesn't have the +-4 days time available.
Just saying...

  1. Account for time distance between 2 posts.
  2. I was lacking 4k cause i had 2 flights for FEB and MAY planned with UA 1st 16k miles 2nd 20k miles.
  3. At the moment of the first post I didn't know the trick, or rather I assumed it won't work.
  4. I tested it during Christmas.
  5. Because I can do 24k miles the way described in the trick thread I will be *G before May trip (if my other half don't get mad at me) leaving me with 60k OZ miles
  6. Last. If you assume a person cannot learn or find organic deal within a month, then I'm really sorry for you, cause you must measure me by your own measure

40k are in C2 on A3 IMO.

But I can't seem to book it on any of the main OTAs (kayak, priceline, expedia, vayama, momondo, orbitz), and not on the main airlines either.

Can someone please suggest to me some other OTAs I can try, I'll be much appreciative.

Thanks!

AB to KEF
 
Does anyone see a chance to reduce the YQ on the AB $4.50 BF on FRA-KEF with a 3x?

Thanks for any hints.

Everything needed to decode this post comes with this post.
Cashback included?
You might bring it down to 105,6€ ... but well.. it's a hell of a 'trip' :confused:

Very easy to find when after looking at the fare rules.
I payed $150 dollars one way on cebu pacific without any dumps (Manila to Sydney) Cheaper than your dump. :)

brumbrum might be right, although I cannot vouch millage will be accrued in the good fashion there as I haven't tested those routes.

One more clue: If you have many children that get sick a lot you can get OZ diamond and 40k miles for as low as 16EUR and many hours on the airports (as I've written before this offer comes and goes but is more or less randomly cyclic. Now price is available but not the earning class)
no cashback included :P

Many children fell ill last year due to Greek epidemic, IMHO Chinese one-child policy would not be so amoral in this case...:)

C2-HKG
A380 (not Camel) 1x works, but anyone see any 3x working?

Many thanks.

I'm working on the C2-HKG "exercise", but haven't cracked it yet. I think I have found the main connection, but I am not sure. The COMBINABILITY part on that fare contains the following cryptic part:

Code:
END-ON-END
    END-ON-END COMBINATIONS NOT PERMITTED. VALIDATE ALL FARE
    COMPONENTS. SIDE TRIPS PERMITTED.
  PROVIDED -
    COMBINATIONS ARE FOR CARRIER *****(name removed by me)
  END-ON-END
    END-ON-END COMBINATIONS NOT PERMITTED WITH FARES FROM/TO
    AREA 1. VALIDATE ALL FARE COMPONENTS. SIDE TRIPS
    PERMITTED.
    END-ON-END COMBINATIONS PERMITTED. VALIDATE ALL FARE
    COMPONENTS. SIDE TRIPS PERMITTED.
Now I can see three different (mutually exclusive) messages here:
1. End-on-end not permitted.
2. End-on-end from/to C1 not permitted (but everything else is)
3. End-on-end permitted.

Now which is it? I have been able to combine this fare with others while searching for a 1X, so I guess it's either 2 or 3...., but haven't found anything that dumps the YQ yet, so I'm getting a bit worried that I'm looking at the wrong fare..

FYI: Areas 1, 2 and 3 mentioned in Fare Rules do not equate to C1, C2 and C3.

Area 3: Asia and the islands adjacent thereto except the portion included in Area 2; the East Indies, Australia, New Zealand and the islands of the Pacific Ocean except those included in Area 1.

Hm, yes I understand the regions, I was just not paying proper attention to the tabbing it seems :). (Also it seems new accounts are limited in the number of private messages one can send per day.. :p)

1. One way. 2. That's like saying you flew Norwegian transatlantic cheaper when the dump is for Delta. 3. The dump is not MNL-SYD.
