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.

Getting from Rio to Sao Paulo in a crazy mad rush and not see Morocco ?
Whats the point ?
Also its not MR material. AL does not offer miles or they are worth virtually nothing. I thought 5-6 days stop-over in Morocco would be ideal.Hope you can use my friend.

Yes even $ 248.56 if you collapse itinerary into < 24 connection times but that would make no sense whatsoever.

It was not so hard to find. Even weak ITA could identify it.
The blogs with their powerful software would have found it sooner or later, probably sooner, so why not give FTers the chance to benefit before the masses roll in. There is no mistake fare or X based trick involved, so tickets issued should be protected under EU rules. By viewing my posting, You personally had an opportunity to book this attractive itinerary if it had suited your needs. It is an opportunity you would not have had if the details had not been posted.
If you had no interest in this routing or this relatively obscure and little used airline, then you have lost nothing.
