Sorry - I misread. Thought you were saying South America. That is possible too by the way on TP

~ same all-in price.

Use a € based OTA and get £ 68.59 equivalent All-in R/T Sep 24 - Oct 1.

Flew this one ( out of CPH) 4 times Oct 2014-March 2015.

With an additional trick I got 50 % additional EQM bonus miles
and 250 % of Base Miles due to Elite Status.

Sounds nice. I'm still trying to figure this one out. The extra miles are a bonus too!

$233 Europe - South Africa
$281 Europe - South America (can't find outbound date in lowest fare bucket, else it should be the price that WWE posted).

and Montreal - Europe for $243

Hi everybody,

After spending many hours to search for 3X, I am now able to dump 1 carrier (only one) for C2-C3 with 25 other carrier, some worth it, some other don't. It cuts bewtenn 45% and 53% of YQ.

I am still searching for C2-C1.5 but no luck or not the good way to try.

Thank's for your help (in pm if you prefer).
Bye

Way to make the best of a good situation! ^
Did you do a CPM calculation on that?!:D

Thanks for the tip on OTA, the savings can cover the train trip to the airport.

Hartford, CT to SINGAPORE $ 259.78 All-in R/T

Can't manage to get below $416. Going to pull the trigger. Anyone have any good recommendations for places to visit...going to be bumping up against the wet season of many locales. Thinking about doing REP but cheapest RT I see is $200. Still, not bad to see Angkor Wat.

Have already seen plenty of SIN and Indonesia.

No, ordered some red bean ice cream instead.

That could have something to do with the higher price. Enjoy your trip & savings

Yeah, but positioning for an appetizer would offset the savings.

I think this already includes a 6,25 Euro OTA discount. The original fare is 11 Euro or not ?

C1W–GOT $1 bf with $496 YQ, April onward availability. What's the most you can trim?
 
Came across C1W–GOT with $1 bf each way and $496 total YQ in this Mileage Run post; Wondering how low people can get this fare with fat trimming.

Anyone played around with this fare? What's the best you've gotten YQ down to?
