C1(W)-C3 RT 150€ ITAble, 165 on OTA

utrecht

Hi guys I want to share my first and only experience with FD. Last year I discovered a route for C2-C3 with a free stopover possible. 3x in the destination country by another airline can be added to dump 50% fat. Although the all in fare was not as low as you guys mentioned in the threads, I was already pretty happy with that because I discovered it by myself. And the stopover is useful for visa free visit. But recently when I want to do it again, the 3x is no longer combinable while EoE is still permitted by the fare rule. Anybody understanding this FD could give me some hint if it's dead or not?

Are you sure that you EoE permitted is uncoditional, or perhaps, it is with "PROVIDED" and if yes, what is the constraint there?

utrecht

Thanks man4business, you are super correct. There's a new line added in their fare rule stating that other carriers can not be combined for EoE or side trips.

Nothing extremely cheap, but its interesting, that you can fly C2-C3 via the long way, for 311€ rt. (one of the segments here is very very long).

Nice out-of-the-box thinking.
Guess there is a Cx involved.
I think I can guess which one. Is Stop-over possible there ? If so then it is indeed a great price.

As far as i know. CX NOT fly C2-C1. It only could be with a OW partner + CX
While SQ you even could fly all around the world in 3 segments. FRA-NYC-SIN-FRA, but as far as i know, it doesn't dump

The specific airline only changed the kind of YQ them charged......

Now you are mixing up something bertheike

Andy and Pimpco refered to a fixing made by a GDS.
You are talking about a fixing made by an particular airline.

Results are hard for us, but different action.

Most of the lately FT members who post dumps, don't even know the dump logic so when they can't find again the trick they just think "it's dead" without actually understand what was the fix. They didn't do the homework but they just got the dump info/hint from someone else and then they felt the right to show how much they are great posting tricks.
Everyone ate the cake, everyone showed on FT how much the price can go down, everyone is thinking to call an airline to keep valid a return after no show, everyone make money on tricks and so on.
There isn't anymore the concept to preserve tricks but only the concept to begin an influencer spreading ignorance. An example:
Some weeks ago a blogger who did a hard work explaining UA award rules (hats off to you), opened an article/provocation "To those who complain about bloggers killing your deals, I've got a $100 opportunity for you to prove that your deal was killed by one of those evil deal-killing bloggers.".
Obviously the challenge itself is stupid and it's just a provocation to prove to his followers that he and his blogger friend are good etc...

However, this blogger didn't consider the impact that all the bloggers have made in the last five years for example about fare rules. If you stop for 5 seconds to focus ONLY about how many "mistake fare" was published in the latest 5 years and how MUCH the fare rules have changed, you will end to understand that the damage calculation is far OVER 100 bucks.

Duh !

I obviously did NOT mean Cathay.
Cx reference is totally different than CX. That should be obvious to anyone with even the shortest of FT participation.
Since posting was C2-C3, Cx It is where the continent's number ( x ) ( 1,4,5,6,) is unknown.
I think we are hitting a new low when this nonsense and lack of circumstantial understanding is the essence of postings, instead post real deals which is what I praised e30st for .

TLV to USA can still be YQ free on several airlines 238 euros R/T and possibly less
Lots of dumps still work including several which have been around since 2010-2012

I wasn’t talking about a specific airline. That fix killed more dumps than most folks have ever heard of.

Based in C2c, this one is interesting indeed.
Is this one of those self-dumping tickets or a strike is required? ITAable?

andydd

My best guess would be that noodles can be only combined with noodles., based on authors initial description. Guess the airline was forced to do it this way.. because not only people were having increasing appetite for noodles but also boasted about a dollar cheaper noodle recipe, on an almost daily basis.

Hi everybody,
I've been a long time reader of this forum and sometimes had a look to this thread. I have basic understading of how the whole trick it thing works, but when I read this thread I notice that there is something I am missing.
Please don't be mad at me, I tried to visit Rules / Sticky thread and all that stuff to understand how to read posts in this thread, but can someone explain me where to start to get the meaning of
C1-C2 $xx RT. ???
I mean...where is the information, apart that someone found a very good deal between two continents???
Ok, I got you have a trick but should I go on and found it all by myself with not even a hint? Is it just to make other FTs aware that it is possible found a trick??? PLEASE TELL ME!

Sorry, but I feel so stupid about it :-)
