Happy 2014!

Please use this thread to post or to follow Economy Fares which are 'Good Deals' but where the cost per mile is more than 3-4 cents per mile, which is the usual upper limit for what is considered a true 'MR Deal'.

A few requests for posting in the thread:

-members posting their deals please post the city pairs/airport codes and pricing in the body of the post and not just in the post title as it isn't visible for those reading it on mobile devices (ETA: ...or in email alerts)

-some members may be unaware that you can subscribe to this thread and to do that you can go to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and click on "Subscribe to this thread".

Just booked SFO-DUB for myself and my Mom in December. We'll go Thursday-Sunday, which will put me over 100K for EXP requal and will get her some nice padding for her Plat requal.

$525 per ticket. Not bad for 11K miles and a trip to Dublin. First time going there ^
