The below is from our moderator (taken from the first post of the thread - bolding is mine). Feel free to add more if necessary / as needed.

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".

I see this fare indicated the "date tabs" but no flight option seems to show this.

Also, $483 is in USD...

if you sort the results by fare (arrows on the top of each column) you'll see it pop up.



in other news:

UA: SMF-IAH-EWR-SXM $202 one way (4.2cpm). sample date 5/10/14

RDU - FLL - LIM v.v. - same day turn (or longer) available on B6 for $457. Not a great MR deal since it's B6, but pretty good deal for anyone wanting to go to LIM. $500ish from NYC

I'm finding slightly better fares on jetblue.com but still nothing near the $457 mark

I saw a $678 round trip from JFK-MXP for February. $17.50 base fare, kind of low on the MPM so can't really make it more of a mileage run, more of a mileage jog I guess.

Look at October 21st. Same day turn that day is $457 and a 3-day turn is $483

It looks like the same day turn requires you to book into jetblue.com via google.com/flights or hipmunk (jetblue.com won't give you the option since it's an hour connection - I assume it's the same plane you arrive on). Multiple day turn you can see just on jetblue.com

From itamatrix for Oct 21st same day turn:

Raleigh/Durham (RDU) to Lima (LIM) - Tue, Oct 21

Jetblue Airways Corporation 1125 Dep: 11:15AM Arr: 1:18PM 2h 3m Embraer RJ-190 Coach (S)
Layover in FLL 4h 7m
Jetblue Airways Corporation 1825 Dep: 5:25PM Arr: 10:06PM 5h 41m Airbus A320 Coach (S)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lima (LIM) to Raleigh/Durham (RDU) - Tue, Oct 21

Jetblue Airways Corporation 1824 Dep: 11:19PM Arr: 6:20AM 6h 1m Airbus A320 Coach (P)
Layover in FLL Wed, Oct 22 7h 35m
Jetblue Airways Corporation 1126 Dep: 1:55PM Arr: 3:55PM 2h Embraer RJ-190 Coach (P)

Good find! I like that better, would prefer to earn DL MQMs than fly B6.

DTW-PHL-FLL-PHL-DTW for $140 r/t, 4.8cpm. Unfortunately this has a Saturday night minimum stay and is only available for Tues/Wed, so this isn't as suitable for a MR as for a temporary "defrost"

Available through mid-May.
