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.

What man4business is trying to tell you is that the rules are very clear on what's possible as a "strike" (TK only flights) and that they are very unlikely to be dumping.
Thanks for thr clarification. Now for the hard part to find a dump.

Maybe Ukrainian?

Haha. Would an Ukrainian visa suffice, as I have no time to learn Russian?

I am a new student of Arabic at ITA academy, but I can't find an instructor who can translate "YR" into Arabic. I was hoping to find Arabic instruction in the shadows of Giza, without luck. Any other places to seek my favourite dessert?
Thanks, anyway, WWE for many months of your wit.

c2.5 --> c2 rt $217 ai

Nice self dump getting to the country of the fest of the 8th (well, technically the 10th) on chocolate.

Wide open availability.

Depart from noirug with a stopover in turicum, as long as you have some orange juice at your destination, your ai price should be at $217 (up to $251 on some other dates).

[Long time lurker, first time posting a trick-it... so if this was too revealing (or too ambiguous) let me know]
