East vs west coast
I would suggest the following tranches for travel to Europe in J:
Great: <$2000
Good: $2000 - $2500
So so: $2500 - $3000
Regular: $3000+

For example, last year some very good deals to London ($1500 ai) and Madrid ($1200 ai) were advertised by late February, early March.

Looks like the same sale to Scandinavia posted earlier.
However, if you check CDG, MUC, LHR, FRA, MAD, or FCO, you cannot get the $2700 from SFO, only $3500 to $4500.
So this is simply the Scandinavia sale that SAS started, and they're matching, it seems. It does not seem like a new, different sale from the one that SAS initiated to Scandinavia, at least for fares from SFO.

Feb 23-27 works, CAD 3,312 on delta.com. The ITA Matrix search tool can help you find specific dates. It looks like it might be restricted to travel Monday through Thursday with a Saturday night stay requirement.

If buying C for pure pleasure (which I'm definetly inclined to do), let's raise the MR "bar" of 5 cpm to 7 cpm and say whatever is under 7 cpm is a good/great deal?

Totally support the need for benchmarking, but I'd stick to good old cpm. The 11.11. deal on LH was a fantastic one, depending on route - FRA-SIN r/t, with C accrual at double miles and 25% executive bonus on M&M came around 3.6cpm, if I recall correctly.

No need for benchmarking. everyone has their idea of what's a great deal and what's a horrible deal. Just post away and if it's cr@p then people will ignore or say so.
Back to the deals, please!

Thanks for your comments dieuwer2. To be honest, I haven't purchased summer J tickets to EU in the past since I usually have another destination in mind. Can you give a rough idea of J summer sale fares to EU, ex-USA, that you have seen in the past year or two and/or what you might expect to be a good sale fare to EU to be for the upcoming summer season?

My response was to Post 98, which calls for a "need for benchmarking", which is similar but separate from your response to Bago'peanuts.
