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.

Newbie here, just had a quick question. Is there a limit to how many tickets you can/should buy?

Worked without any trick, so it really belonged somewhere else.

Got 3 tickets on Airline's own website. NYC VIENNA and return from GENEVA in August
Got confirmed seats
Now noticed that is was posted somewhere else last night .

Some months before the pandemic there was a really nice trick for DL liposuction C2-C4. Is that 3x gone forever ?

Some months? Rather some years. It is gone. The route of 3x is also gone. However, there is a cheap 3x reducing YQ by 100 euro but this is not a deal.

Booked my first dump. Was able to get two PE fares for the price of one.

Looking forward to the DL earnings on this one given the fare.

C2-C3 RT 104€ AI available on reliable OTA. A great destination for August 2021.

I don't care to lower again the price but it should be possible.

P.S. Waiting for "good contribution" by my bitter old enemy (It's not an hint. Just irony).
