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".

BWI to LAS on UA for $244 rt

BWI to LAS on UA for $244 for travel on October 28, 2014 and return on October 30, 2014.
Itinerary:
Outbound: BWI-ORD-LAX-LAS
Return: LAS-EWR-BWI (redeye)
Note that the first two outbound flights have the same flight number but there is a change of equipment. I have booked so far out that I believe that will change.
I also found BWI to LAX on UA for $298 rt on nonstops only.

There are other dates going back into July, although I did not look far. Wow, thanks (I can't personally use it, but passed it on.)

Not sure where the mile would go as BI does not seem part of any alliance

According to The Points Guy (2012), Royal Brunei is a non-alliance transfer partner on a 1:1 basis with Asia Miles.
