There's a $754 RT AI VS fare DUB-SFO out there, but I can't get it to book. Uses BMI DUB-LHR and reverse. Will not book at any price on Virgin Atlantic website, as for unknown reasons it won't let me select DUB as a departure (maybe since it isn't directly served by VS). Wide number of carriers in the mid-800s bookable for that route, but that isn't particularly good overall, so unless you actually need to go to SFO from DUB it probably isn't worth it.

If you want to save money but earn a little less EQM, you can also fly UA exclusively out of EWR.
This routing for your travel dates is around $1050 ai.
EWR - SFO - GUM - MNL
MNL - GUM - SFO - LGA
EQM ~19k. or ~5.5cpm
Your SQ itinerary is around 6.5cpm.

Air Canada YHZ-YEG CAD$139 OW, $447 AI
Found this low cost fare on AC online on their website tonight and seems only applicable for one dates, though I didn't check everything for months at a time.
The travel dates are 24Jun-08Jul and the outbound can go either via YOW or YYZ while the inbound is only via YYZ. CAD$447 all in however is unheardof for a route that is pretty much a transcon.
Booking class is E on Tango so 25% AC status miles but a cheap fare if that dates work. Haven't tried reverse or other city pairs but thought I'd share this one.

Ua: Iad-yyz $229
Available all year around. Not sure if you think it's a good deal or not, but I think so.
Now I just need to figure out when to go and what to do there.

Welcome to FT.
While a "good deal", this doesn't qualify as a Mileage Run at 33 cents per mile. I'd suggest it go to the "Good Deals" thread.

looks like 23cpm with the 500 min. obviously not a MR but one of the cheapest flights to YYZ I have ever seen in my short life as a flyer. perhaps someone more experienced than me can throw a couple hops in there.
i think it deserves a place in good deals for sure.

Looks like UA is responding to the competition from Porter!

I think the OP wanted to post this as a cheaper flight (for this route) rather than a mileage run... I remember seeing IAD-YYZ upwards of $600 earlier this year.

Not bad!
I'm seeing one way's from IAD to YYZ for $89, for example, on 7/4. The return from YYZ to IAD costs $142, for example, on 7/8.
Looks like you can book two one way's and the price is just about the same.

UA, AA, and DL SNA/SAN-MCI/STL for $230-ish
Lots of SNA/SAN to MCI/STL on everyone for around $230 for summer and fall. The only good mileage running option was on DL when routing thru ATL, but I can't find that anymore; just MSP or SLC.
