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".

Nothing for Avianca Lifemiles either. Still a great price but shame it doesn't accumulate any miles for anyone.

I was looking for a route to circle the globe traveling west. Came across this fare, its idiotic that they're not allowing HNL-DEL via any asian hubs. Its cheaper to fly 3/4 th of globe then flying 1/4 th.

I believe the TK W fares accumulate to TK and no one else. I'm certain on the no one else, I'm just not certain if TK credits them or not.

DL UA KL AF. ORD-WAW $677 round trip.

2/15 out, 2/17 back.

Probably could get more miles with more connections, but haven't figured that out yet.
