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.

1038 USD was the price including taxes and fees, before anybody would have tried to modify anything.

Don't see any other posts from them other than what was posted at 3:43 AM Eastern US time, which would have been right before the fare I mentioned from Europe to Africa was deleted. The one I linked to is 945 EUR, which is not that far from 700 EUR, if you shave off 150 EUR.

Apparently the mixture of a certain small island airline ticket stock in the Mediterranean with likely sky team fare basis across the pond with a certain formerly russian OTA results in a nearly complete fuel dump... 20.80 USD of YQ left. It even includes checked luggage
434 USD return. A sensible fare, but not outrageously cheap.

Cheapest flight on a given airline
I wonder if there's a possibility of search engine that shows cheapest route for a given airline. Skyscanner is good, but doesn't allow to select airline. GOOF unfortunately only allows 5 origin cities.
So basically the search criteria is anywhere to anywhere on airline X on any date.
