Super-Cheap First-Class Flight Challenge (opens in new tab)

The main reason I read the article was that I wanted to know how those flights were so cheap, but it appears to be a secret other than from vague explanation of "be flexible".

It's human optimization. Experts know the system in and out and can take advantage of almost free seats in flights. Don't bother, you don't have access to those seats through the regular booking system.

So how do you actually find first class flights for 80-90% off?

By paying $250 in finders fees to flightfox obviously! I have to agree with your sentiment though, I'd like to find these myself too, not pay someone else to do it.

Without more info, flagging this as spam. Especially considering the poster states that he/she is a cofounder of the website.

Useless article, it's literally just an ad in the form of a blogpost.

No mention of the possibility of a return flight for remotely the same price. At least none that I found. I find it very difficult to read that style of writing.

"how did we do it?" - First let us tell you about this "how did we do it?" - We can't give everything away "how did we do it?" - Here are some other great results we claim to achieve "how did we do it?" - It's completely worth this incredibly high finder's fee

> I scored a non-stop Air Canada flight in Executive First, from Sydney to Vancouver for only $1,200

Excuse the french, but how the fuck did you do that?

If I could travel SYD-YVR first class for $1200 I'd probably go every couple of months if not more.

Well, AC Executive First is really business class, not first class. Still an excellent deal but it's not first.

Looks pretty good to me!

By astroturfing, methinks.

This is pretty useless article, because:

>But how did he do it? Well, we can't give too much away
