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.

I don’t know the idea behind posting the same tricks each week since weeksssss.
the only answer for me is KILLING dumps like some people did it before hère on the the forum.
if you go further on this way —> this dump which is by default very very risky will be killed soon and more others too.
So thanks to who’s post the same things 3 times a day and 7/7 like a medical treatment .......

+48 Hours to Confirm OA Ticketing?
I booked a 3x that involves 2 airlines in addition to the main carrier. While I received confirmation that my reservation is "processing", I still haven't received confirmation that the flights have ticketed. It appears that OAs have 72 hours to confirm space and ticketing and since it has only been 48, I'm only mildly concerned.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? I will NOT call any of the airlines but was wondering if there are any other websites where I can check the PNRs for the OAs?
