IB: BRU-MAD €81 (80%: 1634miles, 6.1CPM)

I taught I would squeeze in a EU deal for once.
Booked this flight yesterday. Not really as a mileage run but it's still a pretty good deal considering it's Europe where tickets are generally more expensive and miles are more scarce.

Correction: You get 80% miles credit (no 100%) so actual miles you will earn is : 1308 ( 6,1CPM)
This is true for Iberia Avios as well as AAdvantage.
You will get 100% miles with BA Avios.

Nice price, and a good time of year to pick up a car and explore the Pelopennese.

^ Not sure I can use this one but always great to see good fares (esp. in OW) in Europe, so keep these coming!

All IB economy fares earn 100% Avios with BA Executive Club.

B6/FL put FLL-SJU on sale for $77 r/t. until 5/30 per The Flight Deal. Seems like a good weekend getaway (works on Friday -> Sundays)

Dl: Str-(ams, cdg)-jfk-gru-dtw-msp-atl-muc, $1225

There are some circle fares available on Delta/AF originating in Germany to South America, US, and back to Germany. The ones I looked at are for fall/winter 2013/2014. I booked STR-CDG-JFK-GRU-DTW-MSP-ATL-MUC, stops in GRU (10 days) and MSP (2 months) for $1225, which is about $0.06/MQM, booked on Delta.com with a link from Kayak.

I will tolerate a connection in CDG in exchange for flying the A380, otherwise I would have preferred AMS.
