Without any real answers, I had to do some investigation of my own, I can now answer my own question.

Does it involve unflyable 1X? That could explain why I can't find it 4th day in a row.

Hi there. Looking for a viable trip to take ex-ord in mid-April to pretty much anywhere in Europe for a weekend. There's a good option to Asia for ~$280, but the connections are ill timed. Thanks for any tips anyone has.

Hey guys, can anyone help with fare basis LRCCA on Swiss for YYZ-YUL-ZRH-PEK in Summer 2017? Base fare is only $20 each way, with over $770 in fat to trim.

Hi All, there is a C1-C5-C1, C1-C3-C1 construction (no X) with Virgin Atlantic that I see on GF but not available anywhere else. I tried many different aggregators/ Matrix but for some reason they just don't display any Virgin Atlantic in their search results. Any experience with VA? I called them but they are not able to book this itinerary. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Calling the airline to book a 3x is a terrible idea...... Try foreign OTAs like Webjet and Yatra

Where is that Amigo?
A quick pre-Trump NYC visit highly appreciated.
Happy 2017

Edit: Kept evolving and figuring things out. Using ideal dates (several available) I found what I think is your original priced as low as $315.48 purchased directly from airline?

New origin available C1-C5 $282.28 AI RT; also finding that some partner connections are affordable priced in, maybe adding $150 RT and bought separately would cost about the same or even more.

QR 3X
 
Is anyone having any luck knocking more than 50% of the fat off of QR C1-C3 for Q1 '17?

CanadianKiwi Dec 31, 2016 11:25 am

WWE any dates on that FRA-JFK?
