You are out of luck haha.

As an aside, I am making a booking for 2 friends to meet them somewhere (I'm flying from a different city) and I was playing around and I took their $850 RT fare and FD'd it into $343 RT. But here's the thing ... they almost never fly, and one of them has never been out of the USA and doesn't even have a passport yet! So it pains me, but I think I will book them at the $850. I don't want to have to explain how I got the low fare and why there are extra segment(s), and not to call the airline, etc. And it's not my money. :)

The shame begins where someone who took an entire airline down himself calls for cautious use of tricks. Not talking about you, QE.

Indeed. Just enough rope to hang themselves.

Tip for other beginners like me: do not forget to select the appropriate sales city on ITA, it could make such a big difference.

Any hint where to set the sales city? C4?

Not sure, but it's super easy to find the one with €40 base fare each way. Fully dumpable but total is more like €295. Strike is expensive, unless there is a cheaper strike I don't know about or cheaper at some ota.

Ahhh, ok ok, I thought it was cheap just because of constuction and not because of strike... So 3x should be used.

Nice one Gary Leff. Now that SF published it you can expect it to die tomorrow.

Not looking to book Gary's traitorous route - however I'm curious is there any chance people booking it now will actually keep their tickets? Seems unlikely to me?

No, he doesnt´t. He is very patriotic and only likes homegrown food. Appears there´s no Bananas in Ethiopia. Maybe I should just do it like the natives and run everywere :confused:

I always thought you guys were being paranoid with the "no share" policy, but now I get it. Was working on a flight with that very airline to get my dad to South Africa. He is too old to run all the way from Europe. Makes me angry, these blogs.

Well, I can't do OLCI on my return flight this afternoon. There may well be another explanation but it does highlight the potential inconvenience and expense of being stranded in a far away place. :D

yeek is this thread broken? It's showing 3027 pages but the far-est I can go is 3023.

man4business Mar 5, 2017 11:41 pm

This is because pages 3024-27 are only for guys who have read the entire trick it thread and they know. Have you?... The best deals are on last 3 pages. Always! :-D
