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.

there is no point to post on trick it thread if you are not willing to collaborate privately with members who have proved their skills for many years
I already apologized with him if I was rude via PM but it wasn't my intention. He should consider that in the last years, I only got a bunch of PMs where people only asked for info and at a certain point you have to reply the standard message to not get other PMs.
Please also consider that in this thread there are a number of "haters" which never posted a single worthwhile trick and they have the courage to quote you and start a non-sense discussion.
Probably you will see some of them soon after my posts

I realize this is not a typical question. I am based in India. I will be visiting Malaysia next month for a week. I see KUL-PEN/JHB flights are pretty cheap.
Are there any India to C2/C4/C6 flights that works with KUL-PEN/JHB as 1x?

LX works for that amount (130euro), but not recommended due to their checks
Via ADD fare is in the right ballpark and allows combinability. I'll do some search, would appreciate a little tip.

Even without a strike the fare is rather good. And I would think twice trying to dump that one. But it looks to me like ITA has lots of phantom availability...

Still thinking to book it honestly without strike though.

In order to get to Los Angeles for sub 150 RT , you have to go to one of your neighboring countries.

Totally with you on this one: Amazing fare, and it's strange it hasn't been posted in premium fare deals yet. And yes, I've read afterwards that it might not be a good idea to dump it. Still, was trying to find a strike with ITA for my own development and gave up after 5 hours of non-stop trying.

the party is over blogs posted it (luckily not the liposuction price).
Just a note:
I posted it here on 20 Jan, just because after many months I saw a nice deal (brand new one) from @mihaid
I knew the mistake since 16 Jan.
So let's continue to post something different (unless super low price)
next deal (just for funny):
c3-c1 RT *A
303,16 $
