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.

Anyone know if 1x/2x/3x on TP is possible? I see some very attractive J fares with 60% fat, but my usual *A strikes don't apply because EoE must be with US/Canada fares.

Noone knows about which fare you are talking.
but afaik TP has restricted EOE to 2 carriers and also only for transborder US-CA fares.
Also afaik there is only one us-ca route existing on mentioned carriers.
try this fare, but not sure if it can be combined (in cheap booking classes)

USA to Exotic Island near C6 R/T Bookable on huge OTA. € 256.73 All- in
BF € 4,42
Air-Dogan - very clever - finally got it. Skipping first segment of a Self-dump is by definition unhealthy.
Love Air-Dogan but this one is better - works from Mid European Country to C6 also.

Air-Dogan C2-C3 177€
Prices out nicely on ITA but can't find an OTA to book, does anyone know how to get it priced out?
Now if you really want to fly Air Dogan instead of 5***** airline, you can go from Airport near Ercolano to Island Airport near
Imperial Temple City in C3
YQ free
No self-dump.
Ticketing possible
