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.

Based on the feedback from a couple of the senior posters, apparently too much information was being shared.. Never thought 'I’ would be blamed for sharing too much information.. :-)
I take it as a compliment..

I am finding some great c1-c2.5 BFs on QR. I am able to dump most of the fat using unflyable (for me) 1x, but no luck otherwise. Skipping the 1x is awfully tempting, but I am not willing to take the risk. Does anyone have experience skipping 1x with QR or any feedback on possible working 3x, and willing to share, please PM me, and I will share what I have.

Install this script ( https://github.com/SteppoFF/ita-matrix-powertools ) and you will have many options directing you to various OTAs. Perhaps one of them will price your ticket. Question about cheap tickets to ... is posted in a wrong thread.
