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.

Hello friends, does anyone know if there is an effective 3x that is currently working for our friends based in Dallas? I have found a pretty compelling c1-c2n c2s-c1 premium fare with about 50% fat that I am trying to trim. It is on UK metal but ticketed by US. Any feedback or pointers are appreciated. I have tried most of the greatest hits already (13miler/Tango/sizeable person...) so looking for some new places to look.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Your question is improperly and confusingly formulated. There exists no UK or US airline codes or US or UK metal.

Hey guys, so I'm a beginner here... I've been trying to search for flights starting in C1-ne to c2 e. How do I even begin adding 3x flights? I have been searching and searching, but all the 3x I've tried so far just make the price higher. How do you "find" the right 3x?
