S4 (SATA): BOS-PDL $310 RT AI. About the cheapest I've seen this route get. Valid for Sunday departures and returns in November. $393 for other days of week, or December Sunday departures. If I weren't already heading to mainland Portugal next month, I'd probably book one for myself. Miles can only be credited to S4's program or TP's program. Boa viagem!

Just booked BZE-LAX-BZE via MIA on AA for $349 RT AI for late May and again in September. it's 5.6cpm so not really worth it for a mileage run but pretty great fare for a trip to Belize. This fare is also available out of LA and other west coast cities. I fly this route a lot and I've never seen it this low.

RTB strikes me as an exceptionally good deal, as is LIR

Frontier: Houston (IAH) or Austin (AUS) to Denver (DEN) $137
I’m seeing cheap flights to Denver (DEN) from Houston (IAH) or Austin (AUS) for $137 for round-trip non-stop.
You should book directly on frontier to avoid being charged a carry-on-bag fee.

I just talked to Malaysian Airlines. They said I will get all miles credited to OneWorld.
BTW: You can also get to BOM. So people visiting Indian Subcontinent over Christmas -- this is a super deal.

You cannot credit miles to OneWorld. You can get them credited to their Oneworld alliance partners, but that would be dependant on fair class. I am not 100% confident that MH would know that detailed information on each of their partner airlines.

OneWorld is not a frequent flyer program, it is an alliance.
The dates I tried book into N fare, which does not earn miles on AAdvantage or Flying Blue programs.
