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.

the best of the best is also when you finaly buy tickets with 1Xs, you fly 1Xs and than you see the SF with their screenshots about the dump.

If anyone has "real" information about the YQ check at the check in, please send me a pm.

You never know if it is dead (e.g. it may work on another OTA), unless, like the former SQ case, the line would drop using YQ in the fare structure.

Whats the problem ? Works like a charm

This deal has always, due to technical issues, been somewhat tricky to book from Friday to Sunday.

Make a few "adjustments" and all is clear.

Anyone willing to help me with a C3-C2 RT-fare from the city above the sea to the Golden City? I know it should work, but I've no idea where to look for the 1X.
