C1 - C2 RT in J RT for $985. Almost full dump, and very little room to dump anymore. Totally not too good of a deal, but that's my first meaningful try. Definitely beyond LCC that probably worth trying.

You can't really get away from death and taxes. :D

Yet I still can't even understand a single word game here.

there is almost always room for improvement... US$891.67

Any hints , please…

I see $835.27 with the largest tax component intact (on ITA and seemingly bookable through an OTA, though I did not attempt to purchase),or $749.07 without that tax but an additional base fare for the (flyable) intermediate step needed to eliminate that tax. I haven't seriously followed or posted to this thread for probably a decade now, so I'm not up to speed on current etiquette and conventions. If this needs to be edited, please let me know.

I mean the YQ part.

I am not sure but I think you write about another airline deal (actually also mentioned a few posts earlier).
Finally, I see also OTA with the lowest ita price, $413.65 in C (see #10526), $163.91 in Y (a bit different route)

$826 is my best try after realizing not all segments have to be in the same cabin.

After a few tries, it's indeed possible to get it around $830.

No, I think SourSweetTea and I were writing about a different one which has a C base fare about $100 more than the total C price you posted about. Your deal sure looks intriguing but I haven't looked for, let alone found, the base fare and construction with which this could be accomplished.

My construction gets it down to 529 / 559 USD in C, depending on strike used. Unfortunately it's not an easy endeavour for me to fly my strikes. Others I found don't do much damage to the fat except a couple of hundreds. If anyone has more hints on where to find other strikes that eliminate YQ fully or by maybe 75% or more on this carrier, it would be more than welcome.

C2-C1 r/t for under 1k in C
Can probably be improved down to around 750 if you wanted to get riskier

this direction $611.17

Almost certainly talking about different routes. My bf is too high for that. Depart from a nation in mourning

C1 c2 fare
 

I am trying to work on it .. but I have also been gone from the thread for a few yrs... Is it via a 3rd strike? My target fare has a high yr fee on it.
