"Good Deals" in Economy Class - Excellent Fares between certain city pairs - 2017
 

Happy New Year!

Time for the new thread. Information on prior threads found in wiki.

So now that the big 3 legacy carriers are all on this $$$ for RDM and all have a minimum spend requirement for status...Mileage running for the sake of miles is becoming a thing of the past, are there (or should there be) a new threshold for what goes in this thread vs. what is a true MR that would have its own thread?

in other words now what goes in here and and what is its own thread for MR purposes isn't quite as clear as it used to be.

HPN-ATL-UIO on DL for $333 round trip or $135 one way.
Availability is wide open. 6270 flight miles round trip.

EY: ORD-DEL, $679. 4cpm.

I'm glad to see a 2017 version of this thread, but "Good Deals" in quotes always bugs me. It's not like it's innuendo... or is it?

As the thread says, this is for good deals and not necessarily good MR's. Not everyone is putting their miles to the US big 3.

This thread is for Good Deals only. Discussions do not belong in this thread. There are several other threads in the Discusson subforum that bring up the topic of the big 3 US carriers and Mileage Runs. Please continue any similar discussions there, not this thread.

Thank you.

It's been that way since 2010. I guess you'd have to ask the OP in that thread why there are quotes. The quotes carried over year to year.

Personally, I took it as a YMMV statement.

Let's get back to the topic of Good Deals!

F9, MSP - MCO for $90 in late Jan. You'll have to stay a few days.

You won't earn any miles and the seats are probably going to suck, but if the weather dips...

MIA to several cities in Europe, CDG, GVA, BCN, MAD, LIS, ZRH, under $500 round trip in Feb-May and October

Example, MIA-MAD in late Feb on AA, $421 round trip (4.76 cpm): https://goo.gl/flights/RUhe

Orlando's got the cheapest average hotel prices for any major US metro area, so if you just want a couple budget-friendly days by pool and palm trees, it could make sense.

LAX-LON Around 2/17 weekend.

$500 - Air NZ and Norwegian
$600ish - AA,BA

While this statement has truth to it. Please remain observant of hotel/resort fees which can boost up that per/nt rate another 20%.

Boston - Gatwick $74 one way Jan-Mar with Norwegian.
a return flight would be $161
That's $235 for a Bos-Lgw return flight

Excludes meals, baggage etc.
Now that is a fantastic price for direct flights.

CPT to LIS (return) in April with TAAG for around $295 (2.8 cpm). TAAG have a few specials at the moment.
