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.

Ryanair, Wizzair, and... Singapore Airlines, lol... because they do not have YQ at all (and many more like such).OK, SQ sometimes are prone to routing tricks with lower BF but strange routing making artificially low(er) price. The truth is not that something is dumpable at some special cases but rather that it is not useful at all.

That is the problem with the excessive coding requirements around here. Questions already answered are being re-asked.

C2-C4 173€ nothing to skip
Meanwhile I received several request for this deal.
Therefore I would like to give some hints.
This deal works only on one particular route. Only one origin. Only one destination.
C5 is not involved.
Fare is gone. trick still work but much higher.

Thanks for posting. This is a difficult one because the CF is high enough that it can't be easily found via lowest price searches.
