S4 (SATA): BOS-PDL $310 RT AI. About the cheapest I've seen this route get. Valid for Sunday departures and returns in November. $393 for other days of week, or December Sunday departures. If I weren't already heading to mainland Portugal next month, I'd probably book one for myself. Miles can only be credited to S4's program or TP's program. Boa viagem!

I'm getting it to price at 259.50 SEA-IAD-BUF-EWR-SEA, 5280 miles, 5707 if you're an elite due to the 500 minimum to/from BUF for a cool 4.5cpm (4.9cpm for non-elites). Red-eye out on Nov 14th (friday) returning saturday afternoon, though availability is pretty good some tuesdays and a couple other sporadic dates towards the end of the year. No same-day turnaround if you're starting in SEA

IAH-MUC-SKG (Thessaloniki) RT $744. 12,2xx RT. 6.0cpm
October dates, looks like you can do as little as 16 hrs in SKG and turn around.
UA/A3. A3 segments book into O, 100% on UA. I'm sure the crazy routers could play with this one to squeeze it down a little.

The folks at theflightdeal noticed a few weeks ago that bos-iah-muc-skg is as low as about $693 r/t, slightly better cpm because of the extra BOS-IAH segment.
