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.

Probably better can be done by experts, interesting because works for many routes of the airline and drops 70% of the fat.
Many C2 departure points available. Experts may be interested in tracking the airline and wait for low (under 50 €) BFs...

TK construction
A while back Oni89 mentioned that TK was fully dumpable using a complex construction but no strike. Has anyone else been able to replicate this? I can burn all the fat but always need an x so far. I'm curious what progress has been made.
Thanks folks!
Thanks folks!

Damn this is awesome. Too bad I recently purchased a ticket to CMB on qatar for $1050 :/. I was looking for something like this for a while. Going to try and figure it out anyways, maybe a friend of mine can use it.

Separately looks like the $623 fare for LAX-SIN is still available on some dates (I had posted on another thread). $100BF each way, $290 of fat
