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".

LAX--NRT--KUL--MAA--KUL--NRT--LAX for $800
LAX--NRT--KUL--MAA--KUL--NRT--LAX for $800. Lot of dates available in NOV/DEC 2014. Though I am not sure if all 20800 Miles will be credited to OneWorld if you fly Malaysian.

I presume you mean one of the airline frequent flyer programmes within OneWorld.

OP, you made 2 major mistakes.
1. CX N Class only earns 25%. So 17112 miles will become 4278 miles. So this one has a 22 cpm as a fact.
2. In the MR deal, it is a generally accepted concept that a good MR deal is when cpm is lower than 5.

Good price for the route, I think, but not on the mileage front.
