Happy 2016!

Please use this thread to post or to follow Economy Fares which are 'Good Deals' but where the cost per mile is more than 3-4 cents per mile, which is the usual upper limit for what is considered a true 'MR Deal'.

A few requests for posting in the thread:
  • When posting 'Good deals' fares: please post the city pairs/airport codes and pricing in the body of the post and not just in the post title as it isn't visible for those reading it on mobile devices.
  • Note that you can subscribe to this thread: go to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and click on "Subscribe to this thread".
  • This is not a fare request thread. Any fare requests will be deleted.

No it is MIA. With Matrix you can search w/in many miles of city pairs. If you take the time to plug in the route as stated you will see post is correct.

You can pop over to my blog if too much work as I have the links there.

AS: DEN-JFK $330, 4.79 cpm

Doubt there's too many people looking for AS miles out of DEN, but there's actually a
DEN-SEA-JFK-SEA-DEN fare posted. $330/6891 miles = 4.79 cpm.

Lots of availability in February-early March. You could leave Den at 3:55pm one day and be back before 3pm the next day. Good luck getting some sleep on the SEA-JFK redeye

UA-Ord-Bud $539

Travel April 30th and before, return mid May. You can tack on a connecting fare from SLC for about $250. Lowest fare to Europe for Spring travel in awhile. Delta/AF starting to match.

AA DCA-MCO $111 same day turn

Not a mileage run but good for my purposes.
Availability in late January through much of February.
Seems to be a match to Jet Blue as appeared today on TheFlightDeal.

AA DCA to MCO for $112 rt

I booked a same day turn for this price on January 30, 2016. I think this was started by Jet Blue.

SFO-DEN $38 rt - Frontier

Using GoogleFlights, found dates in Jan & Feb for $48 roundtrip - but priced down to $38 at the Frontier site (non-club price). Does that price even pay for the fuel? For wider availability, next tiers of pricing include ~$65 and ~$85 roundtrip.
