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.

Exactly. LH or QR. I communicated that exact fact to my good Indian friend in C1 3 weeks ago. Man4Business - You are doing great work, similar to your other Polish country men. Keep up the good work> Look forward to more. People - Watch this Man4Business guy .^
Sooner or later you will make a big break-through discovery.

Yup, true for the old one, <€160 for this one.
Forgot to mention that the fare can probably be lower with advanced/complex strikes (which I'm not good at yet)
EDIT: this is not the same one as WWE posted, only same origin-destination regions!

The one discussed now is for 2017 travel with a 1X and cost 142,14 euros all-in.
Why would it have to be inconvenient ?

Are you at home, or travelling in a far away country? My candidate 1X is also flying above me, but it's inconvenient for any who want to do that flight.

Hahaha, because I'm not WWE! That's why. I also was talking about another c2-c4, based on your OP, but not the same routing.

). It works also for 2016 indeed. Did anyone found a flyable 1x in C2? (don't wanna buy it just exploring)

I so wanna learn how to do this, and help you guys. I have been trying some websites, but obviously the info is fairly scattered. Is it possible for someone to contact me privately and possibly help me learn this as well? Thanks
