youre missing the point.

its not about "isnt so bad"
its about them usually pulling their ebook from sale very quickly which means some tricks stay alive. so the notion of revealing the dump in this thread as a way to combat/punish them doesnt make much sense.
we'll only be shooting ourselves in the foot as the trick will 100% be killed within hours if shared here.

Found a workable fare from C1W to C3S in time for spring break. Good luck finding a strike. I don't have one either haha.

Edit: since this happened to me last time I shared. Unless you have a strike to share I won't respond to your messages

I'm not sure if the C1-C3 you're talking about is the same one I have in mind, but there are working 3Xs if it is. There is one particular airport at C3 that seems to work best for triggering things. It's possible to mix in other airports in C3 for arrivals and departures with prices just slightly higher, which might be better if you plan on traveling across C3.

I still like to search for dumps as a hobby, and I've been lurking here for long time since my last post. Currently looking for an open jaw for the 2024 euro matches for a friend. Found some candidates but dunno the appropriate strikes.

Some of my old strikes still work but not for this routing.

I stopped flying tricked routes because I got married, and my wife isn't willing to gamble on booking a vacation around a FD. I still enjoy the hobby of searching. And maybe one day I'll take a flight with some friends and they will be totally cool with FDing.

It's a trade place here? If someone had a chat with you or trust you, he will give you some hints or infos on whatever FD. It's not against you but you can be working for SF or else. During the last year, lot of crap happened to FD so even if I might know something about C2-C3 or else, I don't think I will share it with anyone except some people that I've shown to be some kind of ''guardians of the FD' or people I think I can trust..

There are some low base fares on the DUB flights but looks like the rules don't allow any end on end or add-ons so haven't had much success. Would be curious if anyone else has had.

Yup, no EOE generally prevents a dump but we know thats not always the case in practice. Northing I have tried yet has dumped it.

Plenty of people still traveling on old bookings. I have one old booking left too. Only asking if anyone has booked recently.

I have been out of the game for several years (pandemic and other reasons). Trying to get back in. Anything working C1-C3 now? Please PM whatever you can share. Any communication will be handled most responsibly.

Welcome back. A friendly face from the legendary LH RGN battle. There are a few C1-C3 out there, but they are far and few between so people are very protective of them.

There is at least one practical construction remaining but value highly dependent on BFs. Probably not justifiable to most at the moment

It's likely possible to COMBINE with that fare. Whether it's possible to dump -depends on carrier and other limitations (sorry, didn't check whose fare it is)

Depends on what type of sandwich it is. Simpler once you can typically reproduce on PL, GF or Kayak leg by leg. The ones with too many segments or for mixed class itineraries are tough these days. Happy if anyone have extra tips for those as they are the ones I'm typically after.

Yeah I can't get mixed class to work. Very sad since my sandwich does not offer high class
