I've found my dumpable flight, which I intend to fly with or without dumping. I've got my 1X which I can fly, so all good so far.

My problem is that I want to fly the main flight in Business Class and the 1X only has Economy. I can price up all Economy on a couple of OTAs, but when I put in Business Class they can't find anything. Is there any particular OTA I should try that will let me mix classes this way, or is there any other way round it?

Have you tried the ITA Matrix Powertools Userscript?

I've been following the thread for sometime.
So far, I have been pretty successful in finding many dumps following the thread and some based on my own discoveries:

1. 100% dump on C1-C3se on a major C1 airline using a 3x. $305 ai. Bonus: For an additional $40, you can add a leg to end your trip in the maple leaf land before the 3x : $345 ai.
2. 100% elimination on C2-C6 on a c2.5 carrier using a 1x and/or a 3x -various options. ($275 ai)
3. 50% elimination on C1-C2.5 using a major (non-UK) C2 carrier with a 3x between two big C2.5 airline hubs with the falcon. ~$465-480 ai. (Not ITAble but can be found on some OTAs)
4. 50% elimination on C1-C2.5 (major C1 *A carrier) using a 3x in europe (and a lot of other 3x in other parts of the world but only 50% elimination achieved).
4. 50% elimination on C1-C2.5 in the bride airline. ($505 ai)
5. 50% elimination on maharaja on C1 to pretty much anywhere in the 'land of recent demonitization' using a 1x using a local shuttle in AC (or a self-dump using the maharaja).


Is there any possibility for a better (possibly 100% elimination) on the C1-C2.5 (major C1 *A carrier), I spoke about above? I tried various 3x pairs but it doesn't eliminate more than what I did? Any other optimization tips for the above?

As I'm looking for a trip to C2.5 or C3, alternatively, I'm wondering whether there is a possibility of a 1x or a 3x on EK for C1-C2.5 or C1-C3? There is a good bf available right now. Any hints on the possibilities?

Thanks

It pointed mostly at OTAs I'd already used with the same problem. One of the major ones resolved it by using another country's version.
