Cashback included?
You might bring it down to 105,6€ ... but well.. it's a hell of a 'trip' :confused:

cheapoair via tcb?

I payed $150 dollars one way on cebu pacific without any dumps (Manila to Sydney) Cheaper than your dump. :)

brumbrum might be right, although I cannot vouch millage will be accrued in the good fashion there as I haven't tested those routes.

One more clue: If you have many children that get sick a lot you can get OZ diamond and 40k miles for as low as 16EUR and many hours on the airports (as I've written before this offer comes and goes but is more or less randomly cyclic. Now price is available but not the earning class)
no cashback included :P

Many children fell ill last year due to Greek epidemic, IMHO Chinese one-child policy would not be so amoral in this case...:)

C2-HKG
A380 (not Camel) 1x works, but anyone see any 3x working?

Many thanks.

I'm working on the C2-HKG "exercise", but haven't cracked it yet. I think I have found the main connection, but I am not sure. The COMBINABILITY part on that fare contains the following cryptic part:

Now I can see three different (mutually exclusive) messages here:
1. End-on-end not permitted.
2. End-on-end from/to C1 not permitted (but everything else is)
3. End-on-end permitted.

Now which is it? I have been able to combine this fare with others while searching for a 1X, so I guess it's either 2 or 3...., but haven't found anything that dumps the YQ yet, so I'm getting a bit worried that I'm looking at the wrong fare..

FYI: Areas 1, 2 and 3 mentioned in Fare Rules do not equate to C1, C2 and C3.

Hm, yes I understand the regions, I was just not paying proper attention to the tabbing it seems :). (Also it seems new accounts are limited in the number of private messages one can send per day.. :p)

1. One way. 2. That's like saying you flew Norwegian transatlantic cheaper when the dump is for Delta. 3. The dump is not MNL-SYD.

Check available booking classes before doing anything else. ITA may show cached availability, and in reality flights are no longer available in this class.

Just a quick one for those in the know, i'm looking at a *A C1e-C3 trip which needs to be flown in March and the best i've come up with so far is approx. $440USD ai with a
3x both showing on ITA and bookable on a major OTA.

I've worked it out to be about an 83% removal which is better than a kick in the teeth, but i'm thinking there's got to be a cheaper and more effective 3x to bring down the final tally?

Neil if 3x is in c3 and forces you to use ANA on some segments, then it's the best you can get.

And if you're smart enough and have good skills in planing ahead, you'll book it for 226 E + somewhat of CC fees.

If you are thinking 100%, you'll be served appetizers first.

ist this low fare even more trimmable.
 

found a nice even tax incl. low fare
Anyone see a way to trim this down more ?

i figured that appetizers would be more effective than desert, but it never hurts to enquire if there's something sweeter on the menu ;)

c1e-c3 for $550 on UA. Not best of deals but with simple 3X so actually flyable... Great 2.7 CPM

I would jump on it quickly, it doesn't show on ITA and on CX webpage found only a couple of more dates at that price which is half of the cheapest price for similar dates. On CX webpage it show 117.60 YQ so even at his best it would not be such a great bargain...
in any case you can shave 6.00 pounds by making the search on kayak uk... :-)

Big Apple to Big Biryani in fall for 150 Euro. Enjoy some Big Buildings on way

Can anyone do anything with this? PM me please.

Wow great base. Is this OTA specific or a common 3x on this carrier?

Didn't check multiple OTAs so cant tell. Also not sure what common 3X is for this carrier...

Watch your assumptions though. Multiple ones embedded in your statement

Great prices! :)

NYC - Sri Lanka 150€
NYC - Thailand 155€
NYC - Bangladesh 180€

If only I collected their miles vs OW or *A...

Right, sorry should have said ITAable.

If only I lived in c1... :)

Not even assumption that I meant...

LOL

I see! :D

This is available to most of Asia for a little more.
And also available from other departure points :)

Keep it to yourself...
US and EU airlines crying foul about "oil subsidies" the airline is getting to gain unfair advantage

Indeed

Question for the pros - why do you even bother trying to find a 1x (specially a remote or unflyable 1x). For actual practical purposes, does this have any value at all? I'm assuming here that the 1x is something I have no interest in making part of some other trip etc.

3x I understand, since you can skip the last leg, but wouldn't skipping 1x just void the itinerary.

Or is it that despite conventional wisdom different airlines don't communicate well enough so you can risk skipping the 1x?

The bankrolled carrier fares were hinted at a few weeks back by WWE, no? Or are these different? In any case, almost too easy to dump fat.

Good question, I believe there are very few 1x's which are safe enough to skip. I always thought the pro's moulded their future itineraries in such a way that meant taking the 1x made sense, although this probably wouldn't work for the really remote island hops.

It is all about the ability to plan and integrate. Here is an illustration. I live in Texas. I fly to Italy on miles. I then fly a 1x from Italy to say Switzerland to see the Alps. I return from ZRH to Texas on miles.

My next trip 3 months later is from Texas to Bangkok on the same ticket as my Italian 1x. I flew my 1x 3 months earlier, I got a benefit out of it, and it removed the YQ on this trip by 100%.

In Thailand I fly another 1x before returning home to Texas on my other ticket.

rinse and repeat.

this is why it is so important to have a variety of 1x and 3x and others available so that you can actually use them and not get caught with your pants down.

A $100 1x that you can use is better than a $40 3x you don't.

Absolutely agreeing with what Deltahater said.
Flying a 1x as a well integrated part of a different journey, more than 5000 miles away from where the first main flight of that itinerary departs are the sweetest ones IMHO. Simply because you use everything you paid for.
Though you can do the same with 3x.
But I think it takes a while and requires some knowledge to combine everything to work smoothly in the end. And of course you should be able to combine with your future travel plans

Also some carriers do not report no show. Some of such carriers have flights that work as 1x. But this is more like playing chicken with the airlines. ;)

Russian roulette is a dangerous game. I would not make hasty conclusions based on some third party tales which were likely a fluke. Getting stranded is no fun. We all know the history...

Yes, the notorious 1x issue is less about skippability or home fun with numbers than about travel patterns which go beyond the once-a-year holiday. Three days from now I'll be boarding a flight that I needed to take anyway. While in the air for a little less than an hour, I'll see my watch ticking at about -10$/min. Hence my advice: Do not only maintain a list of 3x's. Have 1x's ready for any country you might travel to in the future.
