YYZ/YUL to all hawaiian islands seem to be on sale for just under $600 CAD. Pretty good deal considering it's for winter travel. Seeing dates at end of Jan and throughout Feb on UA and AC.

US: BOS-SFO $239 r/t a/i (4 cpm)
US has posted fare EZAUSJ6Y, $198 base fare, valid 1/28 thru 5/21, BOS-SFO.
Travel is only valid on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Flight requires connections, so cheapest a/i price I see is $239, sample dates outbound 4/15 BOS-CLT-SFO, return 4/16 SFO-CLT-BOS. I see same day turns available as well (e.g. 30 April, on a punishing itinerary that starts in BOS 5 a.m. and gets back by midnight).
With CLT in both directions, works out to 6048 miles for $239, or 3.95 cpm.

On an unrelated note, for *A travelers, UA has an N fare BOS-SJC that prices about $247 a/i and allows routing e.g. BOS-LAX-SJC (6222 mi r/t) or BOS-IAH-SJC (6410 mi r/t) for $247, or about 4 cpm; can even do BOS-EWR-IAH-SJC (7016 mi r/t) for the $10 more for extra segments. The UA fare does not have any unusual date-of-week restrictions.

Seems like it's not charging YR on this route when booked as US codeshare.

MH/JL - YVR to KUL,SIN,BKK,DPS (and most SE Asian destinations served by MH)
MH launched a codeshare service from YVR a couple of weeks ago and is having some pretty good promo fares.
Example date: YVR-DPS Jun 7, DPS-YVR Jun 21 - $756 in Economy Special, $3314 in Business Special
Pretty good availability throughout the year, first stopover free and extra stopovers at $50. Open-jaws are allowed as well. Not great as a MR but works as a very cheap "circle-Asia" fare except for the fact that you have to transit in KUL alot. MH also flies BKI (Kota Kinabalu) to NRT on Tu,Th,Sa. Very flexible routing, something like this is possible:
YVR-NRT
NRT-KUL
KUL-SIN
SIN-KUL-DPS
DPS-KUL-NRT-YVR
or
YVR-NRT
NRT-KUL-SIN
BKI-NRT
NRT-YVR
Used Hipmunk with YVR::MH+ to book these.
