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.

Once I had to buy a visa for a C3 country (for 3X) on the airport, almost missed the flight, wifi was very slow, and didn't receive the visa in e-mail, just the conformation of the application, but i could convince the staff, so they let me on my flight. I still haven't been to that country yet. I wouldn't mess with it. However if the 3X is far away in time, then no problem can happen.

Posted it a couple of days ago in this thread. I do not claim to have "invented it.
Cheapest I get now is for 242€ ai. Tip: It´s hard to understand the personal in the connecting airport due to their heavy accent.
That price is not so much more amazing than WWE´s price, so I asume, I don´t yet know the full story. Also it´s with ST - especially on these routes they use old planes and bad service and don´t permit Stop-Overs.
