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".

For example, Alaska's website will sell you SFO-ORD flights on AA metal direct, but usually its $200 more than what the American website will sell it for, so finding the above deal is always a surprise.
Also Note Alaska's policy not to charge a change fee until 60 days out when the fee kicks in.
Per the ticket reciept details:
This fare is nonrefundable.
If travel has not yet commenced, you may make one change to this itinerary OR cancel and refund to original form of payment with no fee within 24 hours of original purchase.
Changes to this itinerary are subject to additional fare and taxes. A fee of $125 USD per person will also be assessed for changes/cancellations made on or after October XX, 2014. Change fees are waived for travel wholly within the State of Alaska on flights operated by Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, and for all MVP® Gold members.
