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.

I actually bought 3 of them for myself and family - starting in Carribean February 14 2022 with return to JFK in New York ( during my son's winter break ) .
However, I do not see it available right now at that price.
My New York to Carribean was Free
(the last leg of a C4-NYC Stop-over NYC - C1.5 February 10 ) itinerary from this last summer 2021. We thus have 4 free days in Carribean in mid February. Hotel and meals not included.

Hi WWE.
Saw your post before the edit.
The airline you noted for those city pairs £4,3XX ... so you are saying that £2,6XX is on the cards? Only seem to spot C class going out which is 2,749 fare on that sector outbound only.
Coming back P/I class still would put the base fare too high to get to the reported level.
