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.

Thank you for your help.
Hi,
Welcome to the playroom.
Please consider this:
- Not because EoE is permitted the dump is working necessarily.
- The airline you are dealing with has locked down most of multi city combinations. And when the(ir) system allows the combination, it usually prices in the highest fare bucket.

New to ft although I've been reading threads like this one for a while.
Trying to figure out a working fd...but haven't managed to cut fat on a single one.
Instead i just end up with more expensive fares on both ita and different ota's.
C2 - C3 RT xmas would be my goal
I might just be stupid...but could anyone point me in the right direction? not sure if my candidates or 1/3x are broken. PM welcome.

Do you realize that most airlines have blackout dates during Xmas time / New Year? The cheapest fares are not available then and it is very rare (although not impossible in theory) that a nice dumpabe and cheap fare covers the desired period of time.

I know that prices are higher during xmas, but I did not know that would reduce my chance of finding a dumpable fare, just that the end price I would be paying would be higher ofc. Why is the probability of finding a dumpable fare lower during blackout dates?

Found a crazy 0.5€+0.5€ BF on a big European Airlines !
Happy to share it in DM as I'm not enough good to find 3X, if you can do it for you, I'll still be happy
Edit : It seems that between the screenshot's time and now, Fare rules has been changed ! EoE is not longer permitted

There is even a 0,00 € Base Fare. You are probably referring to Turkey to USA RT for 159,45 € ALL IN with limited date availability.
Cheaper from Central Europe.

If you choose cityhopper and go to Florida or Caribbean, it will cost you as little as 97,76 € all-in RT.
