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".

Can also find similar fare on AC/SN, about $40 higher. That could still be a borderline MR at 4.5cpm (16k miles) as it is AC stock, so will still be earning based on milage flown for UA MP (even after March 1).

Need a last minute OW run from NYC? I found this one-way fare available from the 19-21st. Three segments, so with 500 mile mins it comes out to 1500 eqm...not entirely bad for Christmas weekend. (And as a bonus, the excuse to take a scenic excursion up the Hudson.)
