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".

Routes from XXX-CDG-AMS-DXB. So you have to have the stopover in Amsterdam.

Would be helpful!

KL: 446USD (353EUR) 8884mi 5cpm LEJ - ORD

KL: 446USD (353EUR) 5cpm LEJ - ORD via AMS

Dates look good in Feb/Mar with min Sat night stay.
Sample dates: Mar7-Mar9
8884mi
VJ2RDDE type fare
25% KL, 100% DL

Only appears to be bookable on flugladen.de, which appears to charge either a 16 or 19EUR fee, not sure.

Forgive any protocol I may be breaking, please give feedback if I should have added any info or if I appear to have gotten anything wrong (or if this is already posted, although I searched). I spotted the tip on one of the German sites and my German is about nil. Good find or no?

Sample dates: 05MAY - 06MAY.

Yes, I know no one will care, but this is truly a remarkable fare, the lowest by far I've ever seen. And, good on selected dates through June!

ETA: Same pricing to YXS/YXE. About $40 cheaper to YQR.

For folks who need/want some more miles on UA from WAS and/or Maryland (I only checked in this direction), there is a simple r/t fare from BWI-LAS for < US$200,00 next week with no advance purchase requirement.

Immediate turns available and a pure day trip possible: BWI-ORD-LAS-IAH-BWI available and back into your bed for real sleep.
