Thanks in advance for your tips
A lot of trial and error, and time on Google Flights and the ITA Matrix.

I got 2 cpm right before the pandemic when they had the BOGO sale (and it coded as 50% off) so I did JFK to the west coast and back a couple of times at around $150 RT on saver. Those days are long gone
