Finally, the “Third leg dump trick” is gone!
It has been for a couple of years, you add certain segments on a ticket, the fuel surcharge for entire trip will be dropped. It used to work on both *A and oneworld carriers, but later most oneworld carriers fixed the bug, left only *A.
Today, Airfarewatch dog posted an article explained in detail how the trick works. then published on twitter several times during the day. Guess what, within matter of hours, all airlines fixed the “trick”
I don’t understand what’s the purpose of publishing this for dog other than generating few more readers and intentionally killing deals. The website never posts anything useful.
Airlines knew this for long time,but didn’t bother to fix it as they knew only limited number of people knew the trick. After dog published to general public, airlines are facing massive loss in revenue if everyone does it.
It hurts a lot of people!!

Delta Miles Block KE award redemption for most time of the year now!
My friend just made a discovery. KE award ticket always has blackout date,but by geographic area
2010
From USA and CANADA
MAY 22 – JUL 11, DEC 11 – DEC 26
From Korea, Japan, Asia, Oceania, Europe and Middle East to USA, CANADA,
BRAZIL
JUL 24 – SEP 05, SEP 17 – SEP 20
International flights from Korea, Japan, Asia, Oceania, Europe and Middle
East
Jul 16 – AUG 15, SEP 17 – SEP 26, DEC 24 – DEC 31
DOMESTIC KOREA
JUL 16 – AUG 22, SEP 18 – SEP 26, DEC 30 – DEC 31
However, what Delta did is they block ALL award redemption on KE during blackout period regardless of Geographic region. Basically that means SEP 18 – SEP 26 is blackout date for Domestic Korea, but with DL miles, all KE award to anywhere will be blocked
Korean Air
