Hi everyone. I just created this account today because my last account username included my name which probably isn't the best idea for this thread.

Now I'm working on WWE's last post as I think it can get me home for a cousins wedding. Long story short, from what I've read fuel dumping takes a lot more effort these days so I just wanted to say thanks to those who still post on this thread. I would have been hopeless had I just found out about fuel dumping from a blog and not had this resource. Maybe in a couple months I can actually post a deal on this thread. Thanks again!


Routing is not most direct, so probably not worth searching for.
SPAIN/Portugal fares to USA(JFK/BOS) and Canada ( YYZ and YUL) are now so low and with very little YQ attached that net savings from dumping will be very low. Reading about Fuel Dumping on blogs is useless. Whenever in the past they gone into ANY detail they have been attacked, so not they just give a useless generalized description,

Nice fare yes, if you can actually fly it.

Come on, guys, how many times you are going to write here about "good fares"?

Is there a rule which says that we can't do that?

man4business Feb 13, 2021 11:41 am

The first rule is not to broadcast too much.

I'm very much aware of what the 'rules' are.

After thoroughly checking, I guess there's only one way something like that is possible :cool:

That doesn't need a thorough check.

The little tips in each of your posts have added up to a nice portfolio...

Thank You. Then it works as intended. Only the diligent will, like a puzzle, put all the pieces together and enjoy. The fact that many of the oldest tricks, some even 14 years old, still work is evidence of concept.

Then there are lots of "Me Too" commentary postings with neither Context nor Content and with no Informational Value whatsoever.

Totally missed his point. Post # 10049 refers to all-in final price after applying a Trick - NOT a "Fare"
Using the term "Fare" implies that its a mistake fare and/or a fare which can only be found on a certain "secret" OTA.
Good Fares belong somewhere else.

I definitely didn't mean that, but you are correct.

Glad we agree. You have been around for 8 years and though we are not close, I seem to remember you as making serious meaningful contributions. Lets focus on that and move on. Cheers
