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.

If you really need and intend to actually fly this one, I will be happy to do the actual booking for you. Yes I am indeed in a good mood this morning
Partly because I feel bad we have not found anything good from your C1.5 airport to Europe.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation, as everybody can see also top top experts can be extremely helpful and kind, even with newbies (like me).

I feel honoured by your kindness, I finally found good option C1.5-C1-C2 r/t at 430 euros (with best availble bf's, not replicable now) so I was playing with SVQ (a beautiful departing point) just to learn something more.

Just enter it before. Presumably you don't have a 4x,etc and so you won't be missing any segments to draw anyone's attention. Just follow the normal rules and minimise contact with the airline, which you may not be doing if you ask for your miles to be credited later.
