VS...DUB-MAN-BGI-LON (Barbados) £348ai
Not exactly that cheap but quite a good fare to the Caribbean. Seems it's bookable. Replace Dublin with London and it goes up £150..Departing Dublin of course the APD comes off and most of the fuel. No tricks involved, it's a simple OJ that does the job. Sample dates Sept 17- Oct 22...shows on Matrix and bookable on Expedia

Lax-nbo 986
LAX to Nairobi for 986 flying TK via IST. Sample date Dec 3-11th. Also can get a free stopover in IST. Managed to price that out via TK website directly though for some reason they charge a $25 "Ticketing Service Fee"

AA: CLE-DFW-SFO for $292 ai, about 5.8 cpm, wide availability in Sept and Oct.
Not a great fare, but one of the lowest CLE - SFO fares I've seen in awhile.

Not sure I understand... CLE - DFW is on a MD-80, DFW - SFO is likely a 737. I'm also seeing CLE - ORD - SFO for the same price, the CLE - ORD leg on a CRJ.
CLE - SFO nonstop is about 4.5 hour flight, but of course AA flies CLE - SFO through ORD or DFW. For reference, UA flies CLE-SFO nonstop usually for $400-$500 in Economy. With stops, UA and US are usually at $400-450. So $292 is a decent deal for CLE-SFO.

Note the recent fare matches by other airlines and the various westcoast cities from approximately $322 ai.
Since this is still too high a ballpark CPM for a true MR Deal (and the thread is over a week old) I have moved this to the 'Good Deals in Economy' thread.

Longtime lurker, first time getting serious about making a few runs to ensure I FINALLY make AA EXP this year. Just got back from LHR and after 50K miles + $800 co-pay upgrade to J that I cannot expense, and with 3 or 4 Intl trips expected next year, a few mileage runs will be well worth the time and out of pocket expense. Plus, I work from my home office so during MR's my office will just be "mobile".
SMF-based so I'm unsure what type of deals are typical but this one came up on AA fare sale search today for 9/25 only and actual fare was $52 less than adv.
Here is what I just booked...
AA: SMF-DFW-MCO-DFW-SMF $274 ai on 9/25 only- 4,832 EQM, 5.7 cpm

UA: SAN/LAX-SFO $108 Sep/Oct
UA from SAN or LAX to SFO for $108 r/t ai, many dates in Sept or Oct. Good fare compared to the usual UA price on this route...if you'd rather fly UA than Southwest.

Also SEA-SFO for $148 r/t. Seems to have started with VX early this morning and was quickly matched by AK and UA. The Virgin deal ends tonight, so these will likely disappear then too. Available for flights on Tue-Sat only.

UA:PHX-SDF 275ai. Optimal routings yield 3.85cpm but with low availability. More likely you're looking low 4's.
