FR site http://www.flysunwing.fr/ offers Paris to/from Toronto and Montreal
Sunwing is a Canadian LCC. The website looks interesting - champagne, hot food and free bar on international flights, 767-300ER in 2-4-2 configuration. I can't find seat pitch, though extra legroom seats with seat selection option for 35 extra.

not the most fun way to fly, but definitely a great fare (even more so since it's about 80% taxes and fees)
good thing they don't offer "first" class like transat going into the uk...

that fare is also available going lgw-yyz rt for $248 ai and one way it shows $60 ai but seems to keep changing to $109 ai when you go through booking
still... a bill to get across the atlantic is pretty good (usually even transat's at least $180ish one way)
who does sunwing credit to again?

B6/UA/CO: EWR-BOS and BOS-EWR r/t $99 ai
The fare seems to be good starting Jun 14th till Nov 2, 2011.
A quick search on ITA shows plenty of availibility from July - Sept. Thats all i checked, but i am sure can be found thru Nov.
A good Positioning fare for some of the recent BOS-C2 fare

Remember though you can get from Manhattan to Boston on megabus for $10 and to Logan for another $1.75. Flying is only good for people coming from NJ/PA imho.

YYZ - TYO on AA for Can$775 ai, YHZ & YUL for $950
The fare has been posted on RFD, a Canadian deal site for a while. I'm not sure if it qualifies for a mileage run or not, but if people feel it does, feel free to start a new thread for it.
Flights from Toronto are roughly Can$775 all in.
It seems to cost a few dollars more to use Narita instead of Haneda.
First departure from Toronto is July 21.
There are departures available all year and into early next year.
No clear max or min stay
The fare is bookable on www.aa.com
---
From Halifax or Montreal it's available for Can$950 all in.
First departure is around July 1, last is around July 31.
Roughly 30 day maximum stay.

Come to think of it, might do YYZ-JFK-HND on outbound and then NRT-ORD-yyz on return. Same price...

$1040ai LHR-LAX-BOS-YYZ-LHR 8.5ceqm on United/Air Canada in December in Y w/layovers in LAX and BOS. Bookable via Expedia only.
Return BOS-LHR has to be on Air Canada but there are some options on the outbound including LH via MUC which drop the cpm slightly.
Books into V for the AC return which does get full EQMs on BOS-YYZ (500 mile min eqm!).
Considering the current horrible prices for c2-c1east ($800+) in December, especially close to Christmas, this seems like a pretty good (non-MR) price.
Sample dates: Dec 20/Dec 23/Dec29.

Just booked EWR-STL in September for $193 rt, all in on UA. Not the best fare ever, but it's pretty low. Looks like a match of the Southwest sale.

LH: LHR-Beijing/Mumbai 279 a/i + others (Winter sale ~5cpm)
Lead in to Lufthansa winter sale so only available short term. Similar offers likely from other European cities. Haven't checked fare basis so not sure if mileage run. Main offer is purchase by June 30 for travel Nov-March but the ultra cheap fares will go soon. (Update - pity one can't edit the header. Reading the slightly confusing small print the fares could be above 279 for Beijing and Mumbai - somewhere between 279 and the main promotional fare which is 379 for Mumbai. Hard to be sure. Sorry if I've misled but thought it was worth posting quickly.)
