Nice c1-c3. Down to $277 if you're near a windy city and a masochist. 19K miles at $0.0145 cpm is not too shabby.

anybody in the mood for trading a c1-c2 for c1-c3? (i'm giving the later, for sky)

Noticing some deals from C1-C3 coming up in the $600~ai RT to see an opera on kayak from my neck of the woods but populating $1000+ regular $ on the OTA, anybody else noticing this searching ?

Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if this would go against the rules of this forum, but here it goes:
I was just wondering, if anyone has ever attempted to find dumps and error fares by writing appropriate software?
This seems to be a great task to automate, especially when knowing what kind of patterns to look for.
Maybe some of the more skilled dumpers in here, together with a few software developers (like myself) could increase the speed at which great fares are found. This might be quite an interesting challenge, especially since (at least to my understanding) the airlines became a lot quicker in closing those fares.

Google offers an API endpoint to its flight data, and so does skyscanner.

If someone in here (with the proper amount of experience either in the field of software development or dumping) has an interest in pursuing this, hit me up. :)

Your idea is not bad, but forget that APIs. They are very expensive, if you want to do enough queries. The best way is to look into the techniques different otas are using and then directly use their data.

I know about people which do about 30 million queries a day and they are booking a significant amount of error fares which are never going public.
For sure you can bruteforce fuel dumps, and it is really no problem (in the database are about 10k potential strikes of all types). If you scan one route with this strikes it's just about a minute and you know what is possible (except when it's a special ota thing). But why stress yourself with flying of fuel dumps when you can fly a higher class of service without a strike and for the same money?

Be creative, learn how to scrape data.

C1 to C3 TATL
 
For an interesting alternative to the more orthodox C1-C3s posted here recently, you could try C1e-C3c $317, C1e-C3s $326, C1c-C3se $341, C1w-C3se $256 and even C1w to a destination favored by Dutch honeymooners for $320 (<1.25cpm). ITA can't handle this.

Edit: or the capital city of that last destination's country for an impressive $226.

Edit 2: C1w-C3e $320

Hi guys! I've just noticed EZE-AUH $40 each way basefare. Any appetizer or desert that prevents the 580kg extra fat that causes cholesterol to our pockets? :) Thanks in advance!

I've returned several steps. I have forgotten the first condition to ask to a fare class. Thanks for reminding me that!
