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".

SIN-DXB $380 return on MH.
O Class, so only 50% in Enrich, but a very cheap fare. Looks to be widely loaded.

SLC to PTY from $410rt and SJO from $400rt on United.
G fare.
Must purchase before May 13.
Fare states unlimited transfers, but the best I can find is about 6cpm through ORD and IAH. There is also a minimum stay requirement depending on the day of departure, but these are about half of what prices typically are from SLC to these cities.
VALID FOR TRAVEL COMMENCING ON/BEFORE 20JUN 14. ALL TRAVEL MUST BE COMPLETED BY MIDNIGHT ON 30JUN 14.
No stopovers permitted.

Per TFD:
LAX - DFW - SJO $328 (5.4 CPM)
I just took a look at the fare rules and there may be some ability to bring it down. The free stopover could also permit someone ex-MIA/LGA/CHI/DFW/JFK to throw away the final leg and only have to position to LAX for the outbound
1 FREE STOPOVER PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT IN MIA/LGA/
CHI/DFW/LAX/JFK.
UNLIMITED TRANSFERS PERMITTED ON THE FARE COMPONENT
ONLINE ON THE PRIMARY CARRIER.
AND - 2 TRANSFERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION FREE
FREE BETWEEN AA AND US IN THE UNITED STATES IN
EACH DIRECTION
FARE BREAK SURFACE SECTORS NOT PERMITTED AND
EMBEDDED SURFACE SECTORS PERMITTED ON THE FARE
COMPONENT.
